Overview
About Me
Ok, first of all, you need to know — I'm a girl with disabilities and wheelchair user. I have problems with my legs, so, I can't walk (actually, i can, but for short distances) since my birth. Otherwise I'm normal :)
I'm friendly and trying to be open with strangers. I'm not really talkative and can be shy, so prefer more to listen (i'm good in that!). And yes, i adore animals! (I live with 3 cats, 1 turtle and had a dog before)
I've graduated university in 2015. Now i'm working as editor and sometimes interviewing interesting people. I love my job with all my heart (not these nights when I wasn't sleeping, trying to beat the deadline).
I live in the small town Kurgan, which is located almost between two "continents": Europe and Asia. Also it stands on the Trans-Siberian Railway line, near Tyumen and Yekaterinburg. But honestly it's boring place :)
I'm just starting to travel, so haven't big experience. In this February my friend and i have traveled to Spain (Madrid) and Germany. Probably, it was the greatest 10 days of my life. Travelling for me is challenge. And every day i'm trying to be courageous to face all problems. And don't be afraid.
PHILOSOPHY
Do anything, do everything, do something.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
A good way of struggling with a sociopathy :)

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm huge culture and art-lover, so, i like a lot of this sphere.
I prefer rock (not hard) and acoustic, for example: Muse, Smiths, Depeche Mode, Doors, etc.
Movies: a lot, probably, it's my favorite part of art. (500) Days of Summer, Into the Wild, Before We Go, Mr.Nobody, Before Sunrise, Boyhood, Flipped, cartoon Up and tv show Friends.
Also i love Depp, DiCaprio (who does not love Leo?), Wes Anderson, Burton, Tarantino, Gordon-Levitt, Johansson, Gyllenhaal, etc.
Books: War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, No One Writes to the Colonel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald and almost all books by Erich Maria Remarque. Recently i have read some great non-fiction books and "The Minds of Billy Milligan" by Daniel Keyes (that's crazy book in a good way).
