I am like the others, but there is still something that differs me from them all) I am an easy-going person living as per the principle: "Be a conquer of your dreams and a victim of your ideas". I do value my time and try to use it in a good way, being alone or a part of a good company. Once I would be glad to introduce you to my shoes, dirty and even weather-beaten, which liked its walking on the world streets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living in the hotels does not introduce me to the cultural life, esp. when I travel on my own. However, Couchsurfing gives me an opportunity to come closer to that culture, spend time in a good company and taste that life, not like a tourist.

Interests

Running is what makes me think dynamically. Do love nature and what comes with it: mountains, forests, rivers, seas, oceans, even volcanoes, and so forth. Watching WC is what makes me become a part of that common interest. Do love singing and tried to create my own songs in English. I am eager to learn something new, i.e. my stimulus to self-development; as soon as I graduated from the University, I noticed that learning could become even a part of my work. I love learning foreign languages to become a part of someone's culture and that is my key principle to walk around within the Earth borders.

Music, Movies, and Books

Actors like Will Smith, Pierre Richard, Gérard Depardieu - that is not a short list of those whose talent to play as if that were their own real life. My movie list is long and most of them are related to some natural emotional adventures, e.g. Now is good. Intouchables. 12 years a slave. However, I love good comedies, adventures, people's relations, even better if all three will be mixed in one good movie :D
I like reading a lot.. ski-fi, historical events, romance or even detective stories can relieve my mind from some daily pressure at workdays.
Listening to music, any kind of, depends on my mood and work environment. I do appreciate and respect everyone's opinion and would not like to disturb them with my tunes :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

January 13, 2012, Friday I pulled one dog out of the fire. Since then she has been living with me. Now I cannot even imagine my life without her daily support)

Teach, Learn, Share

People say that knowledge is the only one thing that makes you become richer when you share it with someone who is in need of. I am for sharing my knowledge and 31-year-experience with others :D Let us cook something new!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a mixed product of different nations. My family traditions and values are what we do hand down. I would not mind sharing them with hosts as well (e.g. cooking receipts). To be honest, I could be not only a good speaker but also a good listener :)
