I am a linguist and a freelance translator, currently (another) PhD student and a dog lover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our family are regular travellers and we like to meet different people to communicate and share experience with.

Interests

Languages and literature - I like reading books immensely, decent books to let you be involved, making you think and feel and be - a bit - lost to the world around.

Dogs:):):):).....this is my love....living with dogs makes my life complete, full, happy, having a dog about is like having the whole other world, another universe close to you, so wonderful, of which you can be a part. Dogs' behaviour is my interest.

Gardening. Planting flowers and just having green fingers - it's a happiness.
All in all, it is Nature and being out gazing at leaves, grass, insects, birds and other creatures that amazes and inspires me.

Handwork, knitting in particular.

Active lifestyle...jogging, I like it as when I am doing it I fall into a reveries and while my legs and other muscles are training and carrying me along the paths of the sports ground my mind carries me away to some unknown heights only my imaginations knows.
And healthy life style, in general!!!

Arts, painting and bone carving - about it I now know quite much thanks to my husband's vocation:)
