My main pursuit for now is to learn about the world I live in. People, nature, myself and everything around me.

I'm a stylist and the best parts of my work is creation of beauty and communication with people.

I'm active, open-minded and outgoing person that always open for something new. I love nature, mountains, quiet and cozy places, I love to go to a forest and to live in a tent, I love swimming, kayaking, walking, dancing and other different activities. Sometimes I also like parties :)

I'm always interested in trying new cuisine :) my favourite is Italian so far. I don’t cook much, but I thing it’s fun to do it together :)

Unfortinately I can't host anyone now because of my living conditions, but I would love to meet you in Minsk and show you around ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You can learn something special about the country only from locals. I can find by myself some tourist attractions that are known by everyone, but the most interesting part of travelling is when you explore a new country or city with locals, that's why I'm here on Couchsurfing.
I love to meet people and to share with each other about our cultures and countries, some interesting stories, and I love this difference between nationalities. It makes travelling so exciting!

Interests

- I love dancing
- Interested in psychology, mostly trying to understand my own self so far, but who knows where it’ll bring me :)
- Had a little experience with hitchhiking and I liked it! That is such a good way to meet people and to learn something new about the country I'm visiting.
- I like tea and good coffee and I can't live without sweets.
- And I love hair! I like my job and I like to create colours and hairstyles.

There are some musicians I like: Prince, Amy Winehouse, John Legend, Michael Jackson, Jamiroquai, Pharrell Williams, James Brown, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys, Jack Johnson, Bruno Mars, Arctic Monkeys, Maroon 5, etc.
Among movies my favorite genres are comedy and drama, adventures. Sometimes I watch documentaries as well.
