CURRENT MISSION

my current mission is to raise a baby inside of me)

ABOUT ME

During the last several years I've changed several countries: I studied at the university, lived and worked in Minsk (Belarus), then moved to France for a year to act as a volunteer and right now after having spent almost a year in Siberia working as a teacher I am back in France, living near Paris

PHILOSOPHY

there's nothing you can't do

"if I can make it here, I can make it anywhere"

Be happy even when there's no reason to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling and meeting new people (nothing original, not on this web site, I know:))

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed quite a lot, mostly in Lithuania (during my studies there) and in France during almost a year I spent as a volunteer. I've also had a pleasure hosting some people in France. And would happily continue this tradition wherever I am.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in a cooking competition (now even have a Top Chef diploma living on my fridge:)))) though you'd better not ask me to cook for you.

I've seen the Alps, got lost in the mountains, did some crazy things which make other people's heads explode. And I'm still in the beginning of something great.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are looking for a teacher of Russian or English - it's me)

And cooking, of course! I don't cook, but know a lot about it. And enjoy looking at the process.
