It’s Katya

I enjoy reading and writing in English, almost everything, a lot.
Like to draw and paint. In spare time I try to learn about my favourite authors, books and just writing in general. Enjoy watching, discussing and analyzing any form of media, books and movies in particular.

Pescatarian.

Like to share things, play cards, talk about art, music, film and literature, discuss everything that matters to you and me and what makes us who we are.

You can write a novel about yourself and it won’t tell anything about who you are. You can write one word and it will be enough.
In the end, everyone wakes up every day a bit different.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to meet people, travel the world, learn about it and about all of the wonderful art there is.

To find someone I can unapologetically relate to and resonate with.

I aspire to keep being curious about everything I see and what makes me feel something.

I can’t fully understand or explain it but things like these: finding indescribably wonderful people, getting lost in weird places, looking around, observing life(like you’re in the book), falling asleep in places you’ll never see again, drink and laugh and smoke and talk, when something clicks in your head and you finally understand, strong awareness of everything and everyone, people you think about years and years after meeting them.

We all have stories which are worth sharing so it would be nice to hear them.
