Im Malena, an 18 yo girl from Bulgaria that likes to travel and learn the most about other cultures and mainly history as possible. I do photography, i write and indulge in old movies and good literature. I want to study history and leave as much art and knowledge in this world as i can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a soon to be university student i can travel only on budget and as an extrovert i love meeting new people of all backgrounds so it combines two of the best things.
