About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Erasing the boundaries between peoples is awesome! I want to see the whole world, because each piece is wonderful and to make friends from all 197 recognized countries, including those 4, which are not in the UNO =)

ABOUT ME

I'm a young professional, who's got a BA in Economics. Happily hired by the leading recruitment agency as an administrative assistant. Working with 30 completely different women, who taught me to be patient, but still blow my mind each day.

Right now I'm on that life stage when you think you've got millions of opportunities, and hope to become a millionaire if not now, next year definitely. In other words, yeah, I'm a dreamer.

I'm a foodie and a good cook. 2 in 1. Mexican, Italian, Asian. Are you starving too right now?

I'm obsessed with planning. From day planning to life planning. And find organizing events the best activity ever.

I believe I'm a versatile person. And if you're used to muse about eternal topics like life and death, love or if there's life on Mars, we might build an exciting dialogue.

Thing, that can make me happy is a 400ml of latte. Especially with a gingerbread syrup.

I've been working since 16 and managed to work for around 10 different companies and to participate in two volunteering projects.

I appreciate healthy sarcasm, excellent sense of humor and quick wit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As long as I'm working in the sphere of human resources, people are the main interest for me right now. Can't say I'm an extremely subtle psychologist, but I'm pretty experienced in engaging with different kinds of people. And as long as CS is one of the best platforms of sharing life experience while building a strong communicative system, I definitely want to be a part of it. Not to be a nerd will just say that communicating with foreigners is simply fun. And broadens your outlook, of course.

I've already had 5 amazing experiences at CS, and I want more. All new people were extremely interesting and welcoming.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huuuge movie buff and like differents kinds of movies, but usually prefer something relaxing like "Back to the future" or "Home alone" or something thrilling like "Se7en" or "Shutter Island". I mean if you're a fan of chick flicks with Meg Ryan, I'm in. But if you're a fan of Stanley Kubrick's movies- just perfect. I've seen seven of his masterpieces and always up to discuss.

In music I am also opened to most styles, but in my play-list are more likely to find everything that's popular and catchy. But if you appreciate old school rock, I'd love to sing with you. Cause I'm a happy owner of 5 vinyl records by the "Beatles".

I can't name my favorite book, but I was pretty impressed by Chuck Palahniuk's ones. And detective stories written by James Hadley Chase are sooo good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a month solo trip across the US. I can tell you how fragile girls can be nasty if they are in the downtown LA at 10pm and try to survive, how to spend a night in the cafe, if your host changed his plans or how to take a ride on a jeep for free if you're stuck at the canyon. And it's just the part of what happened to me during that trip. That was definitely the biggest challenge and the most exciting experience in my life, that I've been saving money for long 2 years, taking night shifts after classes.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can tell you a lot about my traveling experience and would love to learn about yours.

Last month started visiting sessions of toastmasters international club. Enjoy meeting motivated and open-minded people, working on themselves each day. So, if you started the business from zero or reached an unreachable, I'm already about to run your fan-club.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can share with you some amazing recipes (don't tell them anyone), can give you a couple of wise advices (no need to waste money on psychologists), will be the best listener, drinking buddy, friend, bridesmaid, godmother of your child etc.

What's more, if you need your CV to be upgraded or you need a career advice, you're more than welcome. I deal with at least 10 CVs per day and know some tips, that might help.
