About Me

ABOUT ME

People who know me for a long time say that I am a kind, reliable, independent and positive person. I am a good listener and ready to give an advice or support. I think that meeting new people can broaden your horizons and make you look at the world from the different angles. In a big company I am usually not the person who speaks the most but I am always ready to maintain a conversation and share my experiences.
Sometimes people say that I depend on logic and common sense too much and that confuses them but I think that I can be emotional and creative with the people whom I can trust.
At the moment I live in Leeds, UK and studying MSc Statistics.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't expect too much from people and you won't get disappointed.
"I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
"If you want to change the world, start with yourself."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am all new to CouchSurfing, but I have a lot of experience of living abroad and sharing the house with people you haven't met before. This is because I have been living and studying in UK for more than 3 years.

Interests

I cannot imagine my life without sports. Cycling, swimming, table tennis, volleyball, gymnastics, etc. It trains both body and the spirit and gives me positive emotions.
I enjoy music, and in particular hard rock and metal. I've been playing guitar for 5 years now. You can find some of my videos here http://www.youtube.com/user/Frolikityur/videos?flow=grid&view=0
I have other interests including reading, cooking, playing computer and board games, having long discussions with friends ;)
