Hello everyone! My name is Ina and I'm 22 years old. Couple months ago I was student but now I am working as accountant. Friends say I'm always happy, cheerful, funny person. I also think about myself as optimist, because I like dreaming and I do it a lot during the day. Also, I can't imagine life without my family and friends too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's much more fun to explore cities with someone who lives there and knows the best places! Also, 2 years ago we went to Norway and two nice girls accepted us in their houses. We baked some cinnamon buns and chatted all evening. Last year we shared a dinner with Mathieu from France and it was amazing experience. Since then I really like Couchsurfing, because it's more enjoyable to understand the country's culture from conversations with people then from visiting museum :)

Interests

I like reading and 4 C: communicating, climbing, cooking, cats. 1. I like talking and listening, so I'm always eager to meet my friends or chat with them on facebook. 2. I've been practicing rock climbing until recent injury. 3. I cook mostly simple things, although I can make sushi and so called "burrito". 4. I have 5 cats in my parents house, although they are independent and free and choose to spend more time outdoors than indoors.

• animals
• reading
• traveling
• hiking
• rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I really like a bit older songs, like Modern Talking or Queen. Books - all kinds but mostly novels, although my favourite are Stieg Larsson books from Millennium novel series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Won a first place on a mountaineering competition where during one winter night you had to transfer your team over a river using ropes, sleep on snow just in your sleeping bag and mat and walk back 17 kilometers to the finish place. It was very challenging and to be honest I'm not sure if I would choose to do that again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can fold paper swan and I can solve Rubik's cube in 5 minutes (my record is 1 minute and 20 seconds). I believe I could teach any person to do that on his own (although written formulas would be used too at first)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from my previous trips, climbing acivities and some experience from my student life. Also, I like baking sweet things, like pies, cakes, cupcakes or cookies and sometimes people like normal food made by me too :D
