My name is Arina, I'm 21. I live in Minsk, Belarus. I'm a very friendly person, so I like meeting new people :)
The aim of my life is to look back on the life being very old with the thought: "Wow, that was so cool! I do not regret anything!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is one of my hobbies. Travelling for me is not only enjoying some ancient, extramodern and historical places, architecture and museums but also and primarily comprehension of country's culture by communicating with residents of a country. Besides, I find it important to share knowledges about Belarus with other people as I believe my country has a rich culture and is really wonderful !
Moreover, I'm a student:) That's why I can't say I have enough money for luxurios hotels but I've got a great enthusiasm and a desire for new friendships!

Interests

I'm studying at the Chemistry Department (Belarusian State University) and I guess I like chemistry most of all. But I try to develop all-round. So I've got such hobbies as:
board games
photography
doing sports (riding a bike, skating, table tennis etc.)
doing needlwork

My dog Charlie is love of my life, so dog training is my pastime as well :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Actually, I like all the genres of music. I would say my preferences depend on my mood. But I listen mostly to hip-hop music and Russian music (mostly rock)

My favorite movies are "About time" and "Step Up 3D" :) And also I enjoy French drama.

Russian literature suits my soul most. The book I like most of all is Leo Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina". Besides I love S.Esenin's poetry <3
