Most of my life was spent in folk environment. I traveled a lot and performed. By this I had a keen interest in the culture and traditions of different peoples. Anthropology has its origins in philosophy, history, psychology, and religion. I was very interested in all this. In my free time I have this interest manifested in yoga, photography, needlework, reading, cooking. I believe that accidents are not accidental, and any meetings enrich people. My life credo: “If it were not for hope, the heart would break”.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
