CURRENT MISSION

I want to enjoy life as a generous easygoing intelligent person! Also I want to be a Great Human Being :-)

ABOUT ME

I am a simple human being. I love my life, my family and people I meet on my way.
So if we are happy to meet in Ekaterinburg, we can do the following:
1. Museums of almost any kind
2. Bars&night clubs with good music
3. Walking&exploring all the hidden non-touristy corners of the old city
4. Eating and talking about survival skills for living in Russia, Russian culture&mentality etc. Wanna do a cross-cultural comparison? Yep, that's me.
5. You bring it up: going to a hockey/football/basketball game or going into taiga - I'm crazy enough to do both :-).

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is based on my faith. I am a Christian and I believe that love is the answer, the truth and my ultimate goal in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking forward to meet people at my Russian home so we can explore our rich culture together - food, language, art, socializing. I enjoy being a link between different worlds and countries!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed once in Sweden, and I hosted my first CS from France just recently. Both of those experiences were great!

Interests

People, religion, sociology, spirit-awakening music, smart movies, photography, dancing my butt off, handcrafts, talking, reading books in my chair and sipping vin de sec.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I saw my newborn niece I was on cloud # 9! It was really amazing feeling!
Also, when I was 11 or 12 I was sitting on a boat's bow surrounded by my family and in dark pink rays of the sunset we were going into the sea ...I tried to remember that moment for the rest of my life - a full harmony with myself, nature and people around me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to share my love for life and energy!
I can teach how to dance and make the best Russian cocktail before that :-)
