About Me

CURRENT MISSION

love and explore the world

ABOUT ME

I'm wondering around the world quite a lot, love volunteering and just explore myself in different places, getting in some interesting troubles each time;) I'm doing fine arts, mostly painting, a bit of performance and work as an English teacher for living. I love things like yoga and meditation, and other hippie stuff;) as well I like philosophy and long talks about life as well as to laugh on something stupid for hours;)))

PHILOSOPHY

Love is happiness, happiness is love. Nothing makes me happier then the feeling of love to those around me. It is tricky to keep the feeling at all times, but I'm trying.
I'm an artist and I treat art as a way to explore the world - what's going on around, what am I doing here and other stupid questions which never change since you are five years old and try to get answers from your parents.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly host people, who somehow appear not via couchserfing - friends of friends or friends of friensa of friends or by calls like "Hi, I've met come indian couple on the street 5 min ago - can you host them?".
And as a couchserfer I'm a veteran! And I've met such a crazy amound of great people by couchserfing, that I'll probably never give up=) It's important for me to share and help each other outside of capitalism - but I do it not to save money at all. I do it (host and get hosted) for a warm feeling you get after getting a new friend somewhere in the world
