About Me

I have PhD in ecology. I’m someone who values genuine human connection. I live alone and while I enjoy solitude, I also crave meaningful interactions. Hosting allows me to invite a little piece of the world into my home—to hear stories, exchange perspectives, and share moments that feel real.

I consider myself open-minded, adaptable, and kind. I don’t need big adventures to feel alive; sometimes, a quiet conversation, a shared meal, or learning something new from a traveler is more than enough. I believe in being present with others, even briefly, and that every person we meet teaches us something.

I enjoy talking about life, culture, science and anything interesting—whether it’s over coffee or a walk around the city. I’m pretty flexible and can adapt to different people and situations

Meeting new people and discovering different cultures brings me joy. I believe that sharing time, stories, and kindness makes the world feel a little smaller and a lot friendlier.

I don’t expect anything from guests other than kindness and respect. I offer the same in return, along with a safe place to rest, and hopefully a conversation or two that lingers long after we part ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I love meaningful human connection. Hosting helps me feel less alone and allows me to meet people I might never cross paths with otherwise. I’m not just offering a place to sleep—I’m open to real conversations, shared meals, and maybe even longterm friendship, if the vibe is right.

I live in 2 bed room apartment with a lounge, sofa, TV etc. It’s a simple, bit organized but cozy place, and I try to make my guests feel like at home.

Though I like to host all genders, I usually prefer hosting solo female travelers or women traveling together, as that’s what I feel most comfortable with. Thanks for understanding and respecting that.

Depending on my schedule, I might be able to hang out, show you a few places, or just share a meal, chill and chat. Even if I’m busy, I’ll always try to make time for a warm welcome and a friendly conversation. I’ll always be happy to offer tips, local spots, and good conversation when we cross paths at home.

Interests

I’m drawn to the quiet depth in things—books that move you, music that feels like a heartbeat, and conversations that go beyond the surface. I love learning about different cultures, values, and ways of thinking. Even if we come from different places, I believe we can always find a point of connection.

I enjoy reflective moments—journaling, walking alone in the city, listening to someone tell me about their life. I’m fascinated by the human experience and how different and similar we all are at the same time.

Some of the things I enjoy:
• Deep, honest conversations
• Philosophy, psychology, and stories about people
• Soft music in the background while the world slows down
• Cooking simple meals and sharing them
• Long walks with no destination in mind
• Moments that feel authentic.

  • traveling
  • meeting new people
  • history and culture
