Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of giving and sharing. I believe that world can become a better place to live if people will help each other. Starting with the small things: giving a couch for travelers😊

Interests

There are tonnes of things that excites me. However, I have some hobbies that stick with me for a long time. Running, salsa dancing, hiking and travelling. In winter 2015 I fell in love with surfing, when I tried it for the first time in a small town in the North of Brazil - Itacare.
I'm interested in my current job, I teach English and Russian online. Online teaching is a new format for me, it's great to explore it. I love mobility it gives me and opportunity to teach people from all over the world. Time zones can be painful sometimes, though :)
