ABOUT ME
**2015 Update - moved to Australia! !!***

Russian girl living in Rome, almost 5 years for now (who could ever say it would last so long? haha) . And really enjoy my life here.I love Italy and italians, even if sometimes they make me mad ;-)
But I'm also very open-minded person, I like to meet people of different nationalities and countries and to know more about other cultures.
Almost all my life I work in the travel industry, and sometimes get really allergic to tourists and all this "organized travel system", I just wanna take my backpack and go somewhere where I've never been, without any program done or hotel booked, meet interesting strangers, live local experience and exchange cultures.
I believe in the law of attractions and that you can get anything you want in your life.
p.s. please, people, don't ask me about cheap hotels/hostels in Rome, learn to use internet for this stuff!

But if you need any info about Italy - welcome!

PHILOSOPHY

1."Yes, that's right...love should come before logic. Only then will man come to understand the meaning of life." - Fyodor Dostoevskiy.

2."Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start now and make a brand new ending."

3."In the end, what we regret most are the chances we never took."

4."Travellers are always discoverers, especially those who travel by air. There are no signposts in the sky that a man has passed this way before...."

5.The limits of my language means the limits of my world.

6."The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

7."There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." --Albert Einstein

8.The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." --Marcel Proust

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to be an active member of Roman cs community.
Also I'm glad to meet people from all over the world and show them the best places in Rome.
Unfortunately lately I've been a bit busy with my job and couldn't answer all the messages.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are a pretty big group of couchsurfers in Rome, and some of them are now my best friends! Also I meet travellers in Rome for coffie/drink quite often.
And I had some great couchsurfing experience in the past, some of them are my good friends now.
