I'm Sophy from Georgia, country of wine, mountains, castles and rich ancient history. I'm trying to use my chance and travel as much as possible since traveling for me is not only moving from place to place, it's a way of widening the horizon of my mind and consciousness... I believe that the most interesting and exciting things are always happening on the road...I have many hobbies but literature traveling and music are the greatest among them... I've graduated masters in English literature and working in a bookstore for 3 years, so if you like discussing this subject I think I should be proper company :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I Love the idea of meeting people of different nationalities, it gives you a unique chance to discover the whole new universe in the world and within your self. I agree with the statement that the whole world is a book and those who don't travel read only one page. :) I have experienced Couchsurfing during this year and I can definitely say that my best adventures and travel stories are connected with this. Nothing can give you as much awareness and full essence of culture as spending time with locals, enjoying drinking beer together, discovering things that were long discovered before you, but just because you share the curiosity and excitement these places and things always offer a way more to explore.
life is too short to sit and only observe things, like I was doing for a long time and now I think it's time to meet new challenges and to be more social human being ^_^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a simple person, not superheroine : ) But at least I have one talent I'm able to read and write in a beautiful Georgian Alphabet, which makes everybody amazed ^_^

"ღამით იგის სხეულში გუშინდელი იგი გაჩნდა, რომელიც ცას უყურებდა და ხედავდა , რომ ცა იგი იყო, ზღვას უყურებდა და ხედავდა, რომ ზღვა იგი იყო, ტყეს უყურებდა და ხედავდა, რომ ტყე იგი იყო...
იგიში იყო ყველაფერი და ყველაფერში იყო იგი..."
