About Me

ABOUT ME

positive, enthusiastic and sociable, love fun and good jokes. I'm curious to learn new things and new people, interested in getting to know the world around better and find myself in it. I like thinking and discussing ideas, exchanging opinions and coming to new ones together)

PHILOSOPHY

philosophy? it's so manysided and complex! maybe, I believe that people should be kind and help each other, that only in cooperation and honest attitude to one another future is possible and will be bright)
My favorite phrases:
Beauty saves the world
You have to make the good out of the bad because that is all you have to make it out of.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

my friend told me about CS and I thought it's an experience worth having

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none via website for the moment! but hope it will change within a week)
but i had similar experiences in folklore expeditions - fascinating and revealing - people, their life stories, their attitude, kindness and warmth, and such an acute sense of freedom, infinity and belonging, locality at the same time

Interests

reading (English, German, Russian), singing! especially traditional Russian folksongs and much more. then dancing, some sports and games. of course, meeting and communicating with people - should be probably placed in the 1st line) sometimes a bit of acting, writing poems and small prose
