About Me

I am an imaginative, creative, curious, spontaneous, charismatic, hyperactive person. Responsible and serious when it comes to work (or even a little workaholic). Noisy and extraverted when it comes to partying. I hate staying on one place, I always tend to move, run around, look for something new. Really regret that it is impossible to be in several places at the same time!

I live with my husband Max, see his profile http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/ck4n3r/,
and our sweet son, baby Leo, who is one year old right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to travel and to help other travellers. I'm active in both hosting and surfing and I enjoy both equally.

Interests

Music. I play guitar, piano, everything that I see. I love singing. I always carry my guitar to all the parties where I go, and I love singing for anyone who asks me to :) This year I started taking classes of opera singing, just because it was my dream to learn how to sing in the right way.

Languages. This is my profession and my main passion! I try to develop my language skills all the time, in all possible ways. I love learning weird exotic languages, now I'm really interested in Thai : )

Travelling. I once saw a phrase, "The world is a book, and those who don't travel keep re-reading the first page". This is exactly the way I take it! I am ready to work for a year to go away for a month. I am ready to go anywhere. Randomly. To the edge of the world. Just because I haven't been there yet!

Reading. Just read everything I see.

Sports. Since 2007 s I have been practicing capoeira, it has been a very important part of my life. I train almost every day and this hobby of mine has already made me go to Brazil and train there! Another hobby of mine is gym, three days a week I go there to lift some iron, which I enjoy a lot )

Loving my husband and child, and being a perfect wife and mother for them!

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch much movies (generally, I watch movies only when I have someone to watch it with). I prefer movies that make you think, that are deeper than just 1,5 hours of special effects. I like it when you don't understand the plot in the beginning, but as it develops, it comes together like puzzle pieces... Among the movies that impressed me, I can name "Back to the Future", "Amelie", "Paris, Je T'Aime", "Memento"... maybe there were more, but they don't come to my mind right now.

Music. Rock and ethno, Russian, Irish, Brazilian! Music by Max Adams!

Books. Chuck Palahniuk, Haruki Murakami, J.D. Salinger, Ray Bradbury, Elchin Safarli, Orhan Pamuk... Of Russian writers, Dmitriy Lipskerov, Tatiana Tolstaya, Boris Akunin. But in general I read everything that comes into my hands.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitting my job and going to Brazil...
Doing banjee-jumping on my 25th birthday.
A couple of spontaneous piercings.
Crossing Europe by hitch-hiking together with my husband.
Getting married to the love of my life.
Bringing a new person into the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are two things that I can do well in this life. They are, playing music and speaking foreign languages. So, if you are staying with me, you will definitely learn some new songs and a couple of funny expressions, be sure )I can also show you some capoeira and samba moves .... if you are not afraid )

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all, if you have a guitar, I will be happy to play and sing some songs!
Secondly, I'm good at cooking.
Thirdly, I am a super-tidy person. I will always be the one to clean up after each meal, and I will do my best to leave the room tidier than it was before my visit.
