ABOUT ME
I have always had a dream of visiting as many places as possible and sharing my ideas and experiences with many many people from everywhere in the world. Probably, this is because of my father who is a sailor and who left home at the age of 13 to see the world! I am sure I inherited his spirit! At the age of 18 I went to the USA for the whole summer. And it CHANGED me and my views towards everything. I met so many cool people, hitchhiked all over Montana and climbed some crazy mountains. After I returned home I realized how much communication, adventures and people mean in my life!
PHILOSOPHY
live, play, love, enjoy life, don't judge.
all your problems are in your head only, so don't F**k your brain (nu futi kappa).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests
I am really interested in how people live in different countries and regions, like what they do, what their everyday life is like. I am fond of languages particularly small and old languages, but love to explore slang too! Like I always wonder how come some old russian words are very similar to Arabic words. Or for example, how come in every language out there word Mama means mom and only in Georgian language it means Dad :)
I am a big fan of football, hiking, movies and outdoors.
I also love farm life and gardening. Looks like I inhereted it from my grandparents.
In school I also used to knit but that's a long story:)
