I'm an active person interested in many spheres. I would say that my best quality is curiosity: I really love exploring the world in all its manifestations. I can't imagine my life without traveling as when you are on a trip you're challenging yourself. The most important values for me are tolerance, openness to new ideas and kindness. I hope one day there will be no evil and violence in this world. I also pay special attention to such problems as ciliate change, biodiversity of the planet and extinction of animals. I want to live in harmony and balance with our planet learning a lot from the practices of indigenous peoples of different regions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love communicating with people and I think that it is the best way to understand the soul of a different country and culture. And also I'm a student, so I do not have a lot of money :)
