About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm saying YES to everything my life has to offer

ABOUT ME

I try to be a very positive person. Two things that make me absolutely happy in this world are dancing and speaking English. Just because you are definitely going to meet me while speaking English (and maybe if I am very lucky we dance together) you gonna experience the best-mood-version-of-me 24 hours per day!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have a "philosophy". But I think my purpose in this life is to love. I am very good at it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time when I tried to travel with Couchsurfing was during the summer 2014 in Spain. I haven't found a person to stay with because I posted my request 1 day before the arrival, but I met 2 wonderful guys who showed me around. My Spanish trip wouldn't be the same without them!

Interests

I dance (salsa, bachata, merengue, kizomba and even zouk and hustle). While dancing I feel so free!
I play the guitar. To be honest I sing better than play but still know how to make the guitar help me)
I love traveling. My dream is to visit every country in the world!
I adore kids and everything related to them. I believe they are a better version of us!
I enjoy learning languages. Actually, what I enjoy more is the feeling that people from a totally different place in the world can understand what I want to say!
I like studying. Learning new things is fun!

Music, Movies, and Books

In music I value calmness. Sometimes I think that music reflects the opposite side of my life. I live brightly but like to rest with my headphones.
Movies? Drama and melodrama. That's for sure. But I think every movie is interesting!
Books. I love reading and read everything started from Russian and foreign classics and finishing with popular modern books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed the mountain to have the picnic on the top!

Teach, Learn, Share

Almost everything I say starts with "When I was in...". So, I have plenty of stories to share!

I can teach how to plan perfect cheap trips. I can try to show salsa and bachata moves. Also, I am very happy to help everyone with everything.

I will willingly learn languages, local cuisine, local dances and so on)

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
