CURRENT MISSION

Conquering the world.

ABOUT ME

We are a spontaneous and a bit disorganized international couple living in Brussels. We like drinking coffee, discussing, watching old movies, cooking, travelling and going out.

PHILOSOPHY

"The people, who define themselves are bordered - O. Wild"

Masha: If the perfect philosophy would have been existing, I would have been left nothing to study!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now we can not host people, because we moved and our current flat is very small :-(

Masha hasgrown up in a family of musician and was condemned to musical education childhood. She did not like piano lessons, but she likes troubling your ears with a collection of strange records. She studied ancient history (with a particular interest in hellenism) and philosophy and do not ask her now as who she would like to work in the future... She reads a lot of books and likes visiting interesting art exibitions and art galleries. Right now she is a visual arts Comic student at St. Luc. She is a bit sport addicted and loves to spend her free time in the gym, the dance classes or for jogging (when she is too tired to work at the table). She is also a hiking and camping junkie but this privilege is left in Belgium mostly during the summer season.
