Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people. Humans are very interesting creatures and they are always my source of motivation. It always amuses me that people from different countries and cultures have the same goal - to be happy. Couch surfing is perfect platform to meet new people and may be new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music depends on my mood. Sometimes I want to cry and listen to John Legend. But most of the time I want to dance or just to feel cool and listen pop music. My fav singer is Rihanna since 2007. I love everything about her.
My fav book is "the last don" by Mario Puzo.
My fav movie is Interstellar. I'm a big fan of Christopher Nolan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm...I think my passion for traveling started in 2008. It was a cold day when I and my friends decided to skip classes and visit another city. And so we did. At 13 years old we hitchhike to nearest cities. It was a fun day.
