Yes, we`re all open-minded, easy-going and positives here, let`s just skip this boring clichés.
I`d say that I`m quite calm and curious one, both talkative and independent ninja depending on the circumstances.
I`m a language teacher and educated diplomate`s daughter who spent more than a half of the childhood in foreign countries which made my life philosohpy strongly tolerant of others, polite and friendly.

I have a black sense of humor, cute sense of humor, complicated way of sense of humor haha.
I can talk on every subject, stay up all night discussing the future of trampolines or why dogs yawn when they see us yawning.

As a traveller, I'm extra easygoing so if you have any project to realize in your city or country, I would always like to join you.
I know a lot of party and/or drinking games (and I'm damn good in them).
I also know how not to irritate you, leave you alone, respect your privacy and rules.

Personal CS experience true story:
Once after first night at my host`s place I invited him to mine what he did the same evening, because it was just two hours away and the adventure story (very funny) that we had there helped him to pass the job interview once! :D
We`re good friends now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think we are so lucky to have a chance to explore the world by exchanging our ideas, cultural differences, knowledge and even fears. I know CS is not about free accommodation, but being part of smth huge and global.
The time I spend with CS people makes me happy and helps me with the memories to talk to my grandchildren someday. I`m not very experienced in hosting or being hosted, because I`ve always traveled with friends before or had a place to stay, and because I didn`t have an additional couch at mine, but I`ve attended a loooot CS-events, met a lot of nice people, met them again in my hometown, seen the wedding of one of them, found a job in Moscow`s region for one another... ;)
and FINALLY I've started receiving guests now and I`m rather excited!

Well, why else I`m here?
Because I would be happy to share my passion with my hometown, to help the travelers not to spend a fortune to pay the hotel and to hear their stories :)
