I'm a lawyer, and also a passionate traveller, a bit of art and music lover, definitely a book and nature lover.
I love communicating, but also it's very important to me to have a private time and space - and I respect private time and space of any person. :)
I'm open-minded (or trying to be), flexible and reliable. I love life and often in new city I just sit in the courtyard watching life around with no plans and rush.
I really love dancing, ocean and food.
I'm Russian and half-Lebanese. But I can't speak arabic and perform belly dance, please be aware ))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm passionate traveller, and I'm captivated by life in foreign countries and so of course by people from foreign cultures. Traveling and meeting people while doing it are my main inspiration except an ocean.

I stay at hotels and rented apartments, but now I hope to give couchsurfing a try since I want to broaden mind a bit, to meet people and make friends, to see again and again how people on the globe are different and still the same. :) And also because of budget issues (so, I'm honest, which is a good thing and I hope may compensate the lack of references)) - I may rent a room still, bit I want to use these issues as a motivation to do what I've wanted and was scared to try - couch surfing (I promised myself this year to do more stuff like that)).

I would like to host, since I miss spirit of journeys during office days :), but unfortunately I have no living space for it now.

Music, Movies, and Books

A lot of them, and it changes from time to time.
No country for old man, Friends, Wes Anderson, The Fighter, Only lovers left alive, The lord of the ring, too many to write it down :)
Russian poetry, Hemingway, Cormac McCarthy, The lord of the ring, non-fiction on psychology, many more.
I won't even start with music!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently: I was driving to countryside in 70km from Moscow and instead of it drove to an airport, took a flight to the far north of Russia and next day was standing at the Arctic Ocean coast (1500 km away from Moscow). It was awesome! Cold, snowy, strange and awesome.
