Well, HELLO WORLD! I am a russian/latvian girl currently living in the Netherlands for a study purpose. I am new with couchsurfing and have never tried it YET. (:

Have been to 15 countries and 2 more are on the way this year. I really love to travel facing adventures, coping with fears, meeting absolutely amazing people, traditions and cultures!

Personality

I consider myself as a kind person, which can't harm any creature. Friends say that I am out-going, fun n stuff, but that is not with everybody. Naturally I am shy, so it takes a bit of time, when I can feel comfortable with people. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of the couchsurfing! In the future I hope to be able to host disparate travelers from around the world, but for now my student apartment is not suitable for this (unfortunately). I am here to try it how it is a stay with local people, completely strange in a first hours. :)

Interests

I am into exploring the world and challenging myself, and it is not only about traveling. I am kin on India, yoga, sort of spiritual things, meaning developing oneself: body and mind.
I love adventures, hiking, wandering around, team-ball-games, cycling, bonfires with camping.
I was into kung-fu, traditional dances.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm pretty omnivorous in all of these. Until it is a good outcome of someone's talent I'll take my time to enjoy it!
Still the best of the best in music for me is RHCP

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Definitely, living and training with monks in mountains of China. It was just for 10 days, but after this unforgettable time in the atmosphere i have never experienced before, I was crying out loud when was time to go to Beijing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open for any knowledge people can give, moreover i have a thirst for it :)
And vice versa - i would love to share and teach what i know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you some traditional dishes from my country, teach Russian! Well, if we go out, it is worth to teach how to hang out with russians :)
Besides, I can teach some yoga, as I am in it for 14 years (still i do not pretend to be a yoga teacher))
