About Me

Just graduated and now exploring real life, all of its colors!
Currently living in Karlskrona, Sweden, doing a Master in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability (i.e. getting ready to save the planet).
Being afraid of and confused by so many things I constatly try to push my borders and find strength and enthusiasm to develop and let the new into my life.
I try to be honest with myself and people around.
I feel especially alive when I hear live music playing.
What i like to practise is to adjust to various environments and learn to accept reality and people as they are and love things as they are meanwhile trying to help the world around to improve.
I am also a huge food fan! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

well, couchsurfing gives memories; coushsurfing makes you feel that you are REALLY in the country of your destination.
You meet real people, are surrounded by real surcustances, you can learn soso much of life! We know all this, right?
I enjoy living in the world of mutual exchnage which does not involve money but personal attitude, emotions, feelings. Couchsurfing is enojoyable! and so adventurous.

Interests

Earlier i used to play the piano a lot and a little bit guitar, picking up piano again!
I love handicrafts and basically almost any work with hands like gardenning, cooking, etc., also love listenning to people's stories, drinking a bit and dancing, watching strange movies on a big home screen with fruit salad and dark chocolate...
I like being around overenthusiastic people, also enjoy walking/hiking, playing sports (bad player though :) ).
I am very into volunteering, especially travelling+language learning+volunteering combo...yes, languages I love also..

Music, Movies, and Books

Life jazz music is my best.
But, any good live music played from heart is always-always a great pleasure.
Favourite books now I think are the books of bratiya(brothers) Strugatskiye, if anybody heard of them :) however I don't read a lot I must admit, but I love hear somebody else reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being very afraid of height, climbing to one of the picks of Montserrat to see the sunset using an old and dangerous path. drinking Baylis there and climbing back in darkness.
Amazing things are waiting to happen every day! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you share your house with me I will share my appreciation and good attitude
Being part of your house I am ready to help you with anything what you need to do inside.
I will be glad to share my food or cook a nice meal to spend an evening.
I will share my love, my story, and I will be glad if you share a part of your inner world with me.
Thank you, kind people, for making the journey possible and so bright!
