ABOUT ME
A multifaceted soul, observing reality through shy and introspective girl (also charming and talkative, as people say)
Travel lover (not very active, though), hospitable host and gracious guest. Attentive friend and (sometimes) eager interlocuter . Open-minded, trying to become easy-going.
PHILOSOPHY
The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly--that is what each of us is here for.
O. Wilde

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
First time I used free couch not even being a CS member. It was in Brazil (u can see Rio de Janeiro view behind me on photo). That trip was the brightest, 'cause staying within a group of native people let me learn about the country like.. from inside. Surely I "paid back", hosting my friend in Russia. Hope this surfing/hosting experience will be extended in the near future!
Also I attend CS Moscow meetings regulary.
Interests
Many many things) i can have conversations about everything, but sometimes i prefer to listen if local person has smth to say. I am really interested.
