Hey, World! I'm from Russia, Volgograd. Now I live in Ukraine, with my husband Vlad (www.couchsurfing.com/people/vladvlasenko). We are both big lovers of traveling the world by hitchhiking. I'm 22 years old, he's too 22. My experience of hitchhiking started from 19 years. Having so many plans for the future travelings. See you in the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music from all corners of the earth, music of different people and their languages. It brings me closer to the world! I like to sit on the my balcony at home, to breathe in the fresh wind and love the whole world.

My books are different to, but most important on my bookshelf first of all is Carl Sagan "Cosmos", books by Albert Camus, Erich Fromm and Carl Jaspers philosophy. Also I'm lover of William Faulkner, Genry Miller and John Steinbeck. What about russians, I love so much Fyodor Dostoyevsky, he's so existential writer, he said about our Russian souls very accurately.

What about cinematography, I'm big lover of classic, it is the best choice for me always. Also I love movies by David Lynch and Jim Jarmusch, they're crazy in the best senses of the word. I love also movies by contemporary European and American producers. And of course I love movies about traveling, "Into the wild" is one of them :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I do think that the most important thing I did in my life is becoming a vegan. It is the best decision I ever made in my life.
