About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much as possible in this world. Remain being myself, but with good changes in my humanity in general.

ABOUT ME

I'm studying for my MA in History.

Inside I'm very controversial, but with others I love being positive, easy-going and helpful. It's important for me that my surroundings are comfortable with any things, and I'll do my best to keep their calm and enjoyness as much as I could.
I saw a lot of countries, a lot of beautiful places in my homeland, met with increadible people and read a lot of thoughtful books. And I don't want to stop. Hope you'll understand what I mean in above :)

PHILOSOPHY

It's so sad that we live there for a short time. But with imagination you could create your own universe and do whatever you want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
