🌿 Hello world, I'm Victoria! 🌿

I want/can see the world and to touch him, in all it's diversity!
I want to understand the world view of different peoples of the world!

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If we are to meet you, then you need to know a few things about me:

🌿 Sorry, my english is not very good. I really want to learn English and many other languages! So I ask you to treat this with understanding. I don't want the language barrier prevented our meeting.

🌿 If you just want to meet for a walk then use the CS section - "Hangouts"!
In public inquiries I always write a lot of information about "who I am", "where I go", "with whom I go", etc. Basically I use public queries to search for a host in a particular city. And yet a large number of people write me with suggestions about meeting, dinner, etc.
If I come to some city for a short time (0-3 days), then I think it's right that I should spend time with the person who invited me to his house!
It is impolite to come to someone else's house for couchsurfing, say "thank you" and "bye", and leave to meet with everyone who writes to you. I thought it was obvious, but apparently not.
If you just want to meet for a walk then use the CS section - "Hangouts"!

🌿 I want you to pay close attention to this item. Sometimes I rarely have access to the Internet. I may not have access to the Internet 3-7 days. I always try to respond quickly. So if I don't reply to a message, it is due to circumstances, I do not in any case do not dare to neglect your hospitality. Perhaps at this point I had problems or I sleep with the side of the road. Please, treat with understanding. I always remember about you and worried.

🌿 I didn't want to write about it in my profile, but the circumstances are such that it is better to mention it.
For the most part I am a quiet person, in the sense that I love to explore the city, read a book, watch a movie, go Hiking on nature. All of which I prefer more than going to a club or to drink alcohol all night.
I like to communicate with people, especially if we are with them "on the same wavelength"! But lately, sometimes on CS I meet a host who do not understand that everyone is different. It's sad. During the trip I was very tired (especially hitchhiking), and when I go to someone's house, I would like to have the opportunity to relax. But some of the host immediately throwing a party, call all your friends and start drinking. I iskrin don't understand. I prefer to meet the host, get to know the person better, and then go to a bar or to arrange drinking.
There is a very easy way to avoid all conflicts and misunderstandings, you can just ask a question. Any question. "What do you want?". Unfortunately, many people don't ask their guests, and because of this some problems arise.

(!!!) We should always treat each other with respect and understanding. (!!!)

So I ask you, if your views don't coincide with mine, write to me before we come to your house or you come to visit me.
I'm not asking you to abandon your habits, you are free to live as you want. But while we are together, we must respect our personal space and each other's interests.

🌿 Couchsurfing is not Facebook, I don't add people I've never met in person! These are not friends for quantity. These are people I know personally!

ABOUT ME

🌿 I like to travel, and study the world view of different peoples of the world!

Not very original, but based on this desire, and many came to couchsurfing.

I mostly hitchhiking. I travel about 3-4 years, and during that time visited more than 45 countries. Not as much as I would like, but I am in the process... During this time I met hundreds and hundreds of people on the road. I hitched around 400-500 machines, 12 trains, 10-11 buses, 5 motorcycles, 3 boats. Slept in the most unusual places that are difficult to imagine: in the mountains, in forests, in the cartu, in the monasteries, in the apartment without a single door etc. Tried hundreds of different dishes. I hitched over 50.000 km (to be honest I've even lost count).

🌿 July 2013 - Finland, Norway
🌿 July - August 2014 - Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece.
🌿 September 2014 - Finland (Finland I was 10 times (maybe more), all because she is very close to my city and I often go there.)
🌿 September 2015 - April 2016 - Russia, Kazakhstan, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia (Bali, Java), Singapore.
🌿 September 2016 - November 2016 - Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, Monaco, France, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Lithuania.
🌿 August 2017 - Finland, Sweden, Estonia.
🌿 October 2017 - March 2018 - Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil.
🌿 August 2018 - Kamchatka (Russia).
🌿 March 2019 - Latvia, Estonia.
🌿 July-August 2019 - Georgia.

Буду там где ещё не была до сих пор..
I will be there where has not been until now..

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
And once again, to consolidate the results. (!!!)
At the moment I'm very bad speak English, but this does not prevent me to communicate with people through sign language. I always try to look for the owner of the Russian-speaking, but sometimes there is no exit, and I invite people who do not speak Russian. I really want to learn English and work at it. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🌿When I started using Couchsurfing I was glad to be a part of this community. Now my attitude to Couchsurfing is contradictory.
The idea of ​​creating Couchsurfing is great! To learn something new, learn languages, try new food, learn the traditions and culture of many countries.

During this time I met a lot of interesting people, but I also met unpleasant people...
