Hi! My name is Ana, I am... well, it's not easy to describe myself. I can be different, it mostly depends of people around me. I can't say I'm extrovert, but I love to meet new people and hang out with them... but it's ok for me when I'm alone. My credo is love, my motto - capre diem. I believe that life is beautiful, even if it's painful sometimes. There's no mistakes, only lessons. I try to learn every day, develop myself every moment and be grateful for everything. What you give is what you get.

Love travelling! It's the most inspiring thing I know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea. It's so great that people can meet each other, help, share... it seems like the circulation of positive energy. I like travelling, and I know that countries and cities are not about buildings, monuments, sightseeing and all that stuff, they're about people who live there. So I really want to meet new people, know something about them, become friends with them... it's the best thing in travelling (and maybe in life)

Interests

Plenty of them! I love reading and I write short stories and a bit of poetry) I like dancing, tried a lot all styles, currently learning Irish dance) I play the piano and guitar (not really good, but I'm improving), enjoy singing (sing everywhere :D) Love nature^_^)

Also, hiking, biking, swimming, yoga, pilates, taking photos, psychology... well, shortly - living!
