ABOUT ME

Hello, I am an art and museum lover with a keen interest in learning new creative skills. My passions lie in painting, drawing and architecture - especially sustainable living! I often look for the best bargains and salvage furniture I find on the street to join my home. I believe in Mongolia they say: the more you have, the more you carry. I love learning about people and their way of life and experimenting with new vegetarian cuisines. I am a calm and quiet person who appreciates listening to others and staying in smaller company then large and loud parties.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I can't go on a trip and experience the world, I like a small slice of the world to come to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like electro and electro swing music. Parlov Stelar and Bonobo are some of my favorite artists. I've read a lot of Haruki Murakami books and I like documentary films about people and the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After letting go of our jobs, me and my husband Igor set out to Japan from Europe without taking any flights. Our 6 months travel included crossing Russia on transibirian train (with 3rd class), spending 2 weeks with mongolian nomads in the desert, visiting CS friends in China and Taiwan and hitchhiking many kilometers and sleeping wild under the tent many nights.
I've learned to trust the kindness of strangers and staying in their homes. The wonderful feeling of not knowing where or what I'm going to be doing tomorrow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to exchange ideas about art and involve myself in creative projects and help where I can.
