About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make people around HAPPY! Smile:)

ABOUT ME

I am the one who always accepts challenges. While doing something I love, I put all my energy to it. Most of the time I am patient, I don't like to argue. I think that I am a good friend, the one whom you can always rely on. I like to meet new people. I find it very interesting listening to people's life stories and generally about people. I value my family. It is the most important thing in my life. I love kids.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not able to host at the moment, however I am more than glad to spend time showing the city to Almaty guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Tallinn, Estonia
Vilnius, Lithuania
Riga, Latvia
Moscow, Russia
Chicago, USA
Barcelona, Spain
Kaliningrad, Russia
Liepaja, Latvia
Astana, Kazakhstan
Kaunas, Lithuania

I am ready to meet new people with different worldviews and I truly believe that we will become good friends. I am excited about getting to know you better, your culture. I value my culture and I am for sure going to share it with others. It is really interesting to find out how little people know about my country, I am very motivated to tell about our traditions. Hope that I will find something new about the culture of hosting country.

Interests

I love learning new languages. I think that language is "key" to the person's hear. I love Nelson Mandela's quote "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his hear". My hobby is dancing. have danced since I was 4 years old. Have finished dancing school. Also I am a fan of active lifestyle. If I had a free day I will most probably spend it outdoors.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: any genre. But mostly I prefer comedies, historic, romance. Generally I prefer movies that have meaning. I value movies that speak to my heart and make me emotional, those are usually the ones that we remember very well.
Music: depends on my mood. I listen to the music on internet that is why I don't have regular playlist. If I fall in love with a particular song I listen to it every day for many times until I get tired) Also I like to listen to songs that bring certain memories( from school, remind friends, events, days)
Books: novels, "textbooks" :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The amazing thing for me is observing my younger brother growing up since his chindhood ( he is 13 now, a teenager, OMG!).

Oh and paragliding of course...
