Kindness is the most important thing on Earth. And my life mission is spreading kindness in the world! And sharing food! If you're hungry and just have two apples, share one, if you have one, share a half, the more you give, the more you get. I have no idea why it is so and how it works, but it has always been happening to me :)))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is so inspiring! I really appreciate couchsurfers because they are eternally generous. And they are brave enough to open their doors and hearts to complete strangers. CS is aaaaall about sharing and trusting other people! And it brings magic in our life because provides us a unique opportunity to make friends, find soulmates and build connections we will keep through our lives.

Interests

I majored in Chinese studies, I'm a huge fan of Chinese philosophy, art and culture, can go for hours talking about it. I'm a vegetarian, really care about nature and environment, recycle, try to implement sustainablity and minimalism into my life. Love travelling and learning about this amazing place - planet Earth - we live on, travelling makes me happy, more tolerant, open-minded, teaches to trust people :))
I also love mountains, hiking, walking, talking, helping, sharing, laughing, sun, books, tea, my family and friends.

Became a vegetarian, did a 9-day hiking in the Caucasus, climbed a volcano in Indonesia, worked as a team leader in a children summer camp, fell in love with Berlin, ate spacecakes in Amsterdam, bought a 15-hour standing ticket from Beijing to Nanjing and back (those who are familiar with Chinese context know what a standing ticket means haha), did a meditation retreat in Thailand, wan an interpretation contest (Chinese-Russian), travelled to Australia.
