About Me

ABOUT ME

Once I had to write a poem about myself. I remember only 2 lines of it:
I am a little curious girl,
I wonder why the Earth is round..
Now I've grown a little taller and older, but I'm still curious. I like adventures and organizing things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel and to meet new people. I also like things, that some people call risky and to some people CS is quite a risky thing. As well as hitchiking ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On the way to Kazakhstan me and my friends stayed by a woman in Saratov - first experience and surprisingly good one :)
Since then I have hosted several people and also surfed with some.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jules Verne and Alexander Dumas books are the best! I like Harry Potter as well ;) But the best book I've read is written by V.Kaverin - "2 captains".

Don't like horror movies and movies with some nonsense. My favorite movie is "It's a wonderful life" by F.Capra. It always makes me smile. I also like "Die Hard" style films as long as there's some (believable) story besides the shooting. And I like anime as well, the latest favourite being "The Secret World of Arrietty"

I like almost any music which really has music in it - from classical to rap. The favorites of latest times are soundtracks by H.Zimmer, Nightwish, Within Temptation and Vangelis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summer of 2008 me and my friends went to Kazakhstan and Russia and back by old Russian cars named UAZ. The journey took a month and that was the greatest adventure I've ever had.
It is this journey with which my passion of total solar eclipse travels started. You can read more about my trips on http://eclipse-tour.org

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to play an easy melody on violin (I play quite bad myself though) and tell lots and lots about stars up there, if you want :)
