About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Communication. All about it. I have 2 ways in doing that: studing new languages and the language structure as a tool of comunication and meeting new people, trying to make them just a bit happier they were before

ABOUT ME

cheerful, outgoing, actually crazy (not just a bit, lots more), maybe nice, love meeting new people, trying to explore the world around me!

PHILOSOPHY

just enjoy

always try to do your best - make the fortune help you

regreting sucks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

still not enough

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've started not so long ago

Interests

my biggest passion is language. It's not only about computational linguistics, I'm also interested in psycolinguistics, how does the brain create such thing... and many other things about language science!

I also enjoy studing foreign languages, there are some I wanna learn!

Swimming is my favourite kind of sport, some time ago I played tennis and ping-pong, but I'm not practicing now...

I really enjoy singing, and some people enjoy my singing too;)

I love cooking, if there's someone to do it for, but I'm not really good at it. However, I'm trying to do my best...

I've realized how I feel about travelling only as I joined CS. Before that I thought I'll never afford a lot of travelling, but now I have sooo much plans! I love it!

And when you meet so much good, kind and open-minded people, you really can enjoy communicating!!!
