Hey everyone! I’m Valentina from Serbia! 🇷🇸
I’m a final-year chemistry student who loves spending time with labware and chemicals—but even more with people! I have a bunch of hobbies and love sharing them, whether it's through good conversations, cultural exchange or just having fun together. Always up for an adventure and meeting new friends! ✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel, meet new people, explore new countries! I'd say that's the thing I find myself in the most. The feeling of belonging to a new environment, culture, energy with new people is something that fulfills me.✨

Interests

Traveling is definitely my biggest passion! ✈️🌍
That passion naturally led me to photography—I love capturing moments and beautiful places through my lens 📸
I’ve been dancing since I was a child, starting with modern dance until I was 8 and then diving into Serbian folklore, which I’ve been professionally involved in for the past 12 years 💃🇷🇸
Music is another big part of my life—I’ve even written a few songs myself! 🎶
I also love painting, mostly on canvas, but I experiment with different techniques 🎨
For years, I was an active member of the Red Cross, where I even ran my own program, combining my love for helping others with leadership and teamwork ❤️

Music, Movies, and Books

Music 🎶
Pop is my go-to, but I love classical music while painting. Eurovision holds a special place in my heart, so it’s always on my playlist!
Movies 🎬
Big fan of comedy and romance—good vibes only!
Books 📚
My taste changes a lot! From supernatural to romance, Russian literature, and crime—right now, romance is my favorite. Let’s see what’s next!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Something that I consider a wonderful experience is the exchange of students abroad! I spent two semesters studying abroad through Erasmus+ and a few months internships. I also had a weekly projects in different countries. These were the beginnings that introduced me to the beauty of traveling and making international friends. After that, everything is a beautiful history! 🌎
New updates:
1) I hitchhiked all around Türkiye and honestly, it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had!
2) I climbed mount Etna and had a little grill break on the volcano… all during a red alert! Such an unforgettable moment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Just as I love discovering new countries, I also enjoy sharing stories about mine! Serbia is rich in history, culture and traditions and I’d love to introduce you to them. And of course—Serbian food! I can cook traditional dishes that will put a smile on your face and soon after, on your stomach! 😄🍽️
