I see myself as a hobbit type of person - I am introvert and very traditional (christian, I like routine etc.), but then something happens and I want to go on the Adventure (except - in my case I myself am wizard, who pushes me to do it). So I go on travel by myself, or study abroad, or participate on TV show, or renovate my apartment on myself etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see this as an opportunity to extend my Adventure (promise, I am not obsessed with Hobbit, it was just one of my favorite children books and I see it as great metaphor here) - meeting locals is just another way to learn more about places I visit and mostly: to learn more about myself.

Interests

Mostly passive things: I am massive reader - last year read 73 novels (I know exact number, because I am on goodreads.com). I like handcrafting ( I love that nowadays there are so many DIY ideas).I go often to theaters, I watch TV and movies. I am definitely a dog person.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to say I like all the me usic, but then realised that when I put my MP3 on shuffle every 3rd song is by Bon Jovi or James Blunt. Mostly I like soft rock, pop, but I also love musicals and swing.
Movies - well, I have yoy average perosn taste, mostly Hollywood movies.
As for books - I said I read A lot. Really. I read prose, I usually don't like crime and trilers, but a good one might hook me on. My Favorite book list is long - you can see it here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5932601?shelf=favorite
