I was born in Moldova - a small country in the East of Europe. From the youngest age I had a dream to travel across the world. When I was 14 I have already visited Ukraine, Romania, Turkey. By 18 I had also seen the beauties of Russia, France, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria. Now I am studying on the economics faculty in Moscow and during vacation time I am travelling as well. In 2016 I've got my chance to visit the US as a participant of a famous student exchange program "Work and Travel". I have already seen West Virginia and am planing to visit the Eastern coast.
The most attractive thing for me in all these journeys is history. I think that the present is very static from such kind of positions: we can't notice any changes in the way people are using to live during a recent period of time and we cannot get a whole portrait of todays great people because their road is not taken yet. At the same time history allows to know the destinies of whole civilizations and greatest people. And this is more attractive for me because it is a book that was already written: we can perceive its experience. People and landmarks are a part of the history - so I visit another countries in order to understand the past better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a way to meet people that carry in themselves a part of their countries' history personified in culture.
