ABOUT ME

In general I'm a friendly,funny, easy-going person with lots of interests. Sometimes really adventurous,emotional and crazy:)) Sometimes people when I'm nice with them think I'm flirting. Or when I'm sarcastic -that I'm mean. I looove people like me and I really believe in stupid thing that perfect people for me are "gemini" or "libra":))
I have a Jew's soul even if I'm totally Russian:)
I believe in carma only when I do good things.
If I'm not going to travel so "traveling" is going to me thats why I work as a receptionist and use CS.
I do believe that you need to say "YES" to everything that is out of your comfort zone but at the same time it must be legal and moral( the way you understand it).
I believe you need to use all the opportunities life gives you otherwise next time you will not get anything.
Everything must be in balance.
If you think positively your life will become better and better automatically.
I’m not really into ecology but if u throw ur trash in the street it will really bother me and I’ll talk about it cuz I always speak my mind.
I like the phrase ‘ Do you’- mind your business. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, religious or feminist too much:) just a bit... u know.. so please, do not try to push me to change my mind if u don’t agree with me, just listen to me and accept my opinion and I’ll do the same. Otherwise, we can just split up if there is too much tension. Diversity is good.
I believe u need to love and respect yourself first, speak ur mind even if people don’t like it. This life is too short not to do what u want and like to enjoy it. So if u don’t like ur job-move on:) I think u really rape urself if I can say that when u exist and suffer rather than live and enjoy. Moderate hedonism:)
If u start to do something do it well, do ur best so u will not feel ashamed after.
I always treat everybody equally, nicely no matter what. It’s like a presumption of innocence: until u do something bad I think u r a good person:) but if u hurt me there will be no second chance. Fool me once-shame on you, fool me twice-shame on me.
I can’t forgive people. My memory is too good.
One of my rules: don’t plan, improvise. If u feel like doing smth now, like changing -do if it doesn’t bother or hurt anybody.
These things are really random but very important for me cause I live according to them:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning smth bout different cultures, languages, customs and traditions and I'm absolutely mad about travelling:) So CS is a combination of everything I like.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
1. CS for me is a cultural exchange service. I'm NOT A SEX-SURFER. SO pls DO NOT DISTURB if u r looking for FUN!!!!
2. I'm not staying with nudists or naturalists whatever they call themselves. I don't feel comfortable staying at smb's apt while a naked person is next to me.
3. Recently I've had some cases when ppl wanted me just as an entertainer. I need a feedback, emotional reaction, dialog! Otherwise it feels like its my job.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was hosted by strangers I've met in different cities in the street.

Ive been sleeping in a track while hitchhiking instead of using CS.

Crossed 3 countries in a day by hitchhiking several times.

Climbed the highest peak of the Balkans.

Have been traveling solo for 9 months just by hitchhiking.

Kept a fast in Ramadan even thought I'm Orthodox:)

To be fair I need to say I kept the longest Orthodox fast as well. I’m multi religious:)

I’ve been traveling around the Caucasus and Turkey alone,hitchhiking.

In general Im trying to do everything that scares me. I call it "Oops,I did it again" rule cause everytime I pass my "challange" I think like this:)
