Through all my school years I was a successful dancer, taking part in professional contests, winning Grand Prix etc. at that time I was pretty sure I will liaise my life with dancing. Later on, I injured my knee, so, continuing dancing could cause serious harm. So, I quit. I was working here and there for several years, when I found myself in photography and video. I started just because I was curious, but later on it became my real passion. I work as a corporate multimedia producer at a multinational company, creating video and graphical content for the company. I am an active member of professional society.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Visiting other countries, I'm always trying to take a glance from inside. Besides attending tourist attractions, i think it's a must to meet people and to learn about their country or city from them. I believe couchsurfing is just perfect for this. It facilitates getting acquainted with so many different people, and to learn from each other, to get to know each other's culture better.

Interests

I love learning new things. I was lucky enough to make my key interests my profession. I'm really keen on videography, photography, arts. I keep on track of the latest trends, I try to learn something new every day. Practice makes perfect - so, I put a lot of effort in practicing, experimenting in video filming, post production effects and techniques.
