I strive for spiritual development and harmony in all aspects of life. And on the way of reaching it I try to help others find their way. Currently I am exploring Vedic principles of life and trying to know more about different religions and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great network connecting global citizens. International life and communication is a part of me and that brought me here :) I believe in peace and knowlenge that can help us all live together and take care of each other.

As for my experience I have been a host 3 times since I came to Saint-Petersburg and always tried to help foreign students coming to this city.
I have also tried myself as a guest. Being on my first long-term trip abroad I stayed with amazing families that helped me a lot and involved me in their sweet and warm home atmosphere while I was traveling around India. In such way I dove into the heart of this country very deeply and fell in love with the culture of these amazing people.

Interests

I have always had different hobbies in my life. It includes:
- painting (art school has probably helped me improve in that area)
- dancing (starting with classical choreography, continuing with hip-hop and modern and finishing with Indian dances such as garba, kathak and Bollywood)
- mehendi (it calms down one's mind and creates beauty on your body)
- reading and making notes (spiritual literature)
- singing (not active here right now except home singing, but before used to sing in a choir and attend individual classes)
- social work (solving global problems)
