About Me

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm quite talkative when I like the person I'm talking to which happens often. I like when people know a lot and tell things they know)

I love food! Also I can cook well when I have an inspiration for cooking. For example, I can cook a large carrot-cake)

I take lots of photos on my mobile phone!

PHILOSOPHY

€œMan's dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world the fight for the Liberation of Mankind

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it"
I try to be good and do what I think is right.

I've recently found out that I'm a feminist. I don't know much of the theory, but strangely, the more I read the more I understand that it has to do with my life (So I'd like to meet up with real feminist activists just to learn how to become one:-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sadly, I can host only in really emergency cases, but I can always show you around or help you with advice)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never hosted anyone from CS. Though, it happened several times that I was showing couchsurfers around, because friends who hosted them, couldn't) Once it was not even my hometown!

I've tried to travel with CS and it was AWESOME

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are plenty of amazing things in this life, but at the moment I remember one:
All English teachers say to children - learn the language, what if a foreighner asks you for help in your city! And this year it happened to me - I told foreigner who was lost how to get to the place he needed - in English, of course)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can explain some Arabic grammar, practice Russian, Tatar (have you heard of this language?)) and English) I also can teach you how to cook a carrot cake)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can bring Tatar sweets and prepare a Tatar or Russian dinner! Actually I can buy you whatever souvenir you want from Kazan
