ABOUT ME

I love to meet people from different countries. To find similarities and differences between different mentalities.
For 4 years I was working as a journalist and my favorite thing to do was listening to people. Listening to their stories and knowing the way they live. Seriously, it's the best thing I know :) there's nothing more interesting than meeting new people.

After during 3 years I was working as public relations manager, specializing on mass-media relations in bank sphere.

Now I live in France. Learning French little by little, learning how to live with French people. And having blog about it (where i share my experience of living in the country of la baguette et les fromages).

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very open minded. I don't care about religion, color of skin, the music people like and the way they dress up. We are so different and that's one of the most fantastic things in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I knew that my friends from Khabarovsk were hosting guests all over the world I was surprised. Russian Far East is sooo far from Moscow and people from another countries don't visit us pretty often. So I decided I should try to be a good host for everyone )))

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in January, 2011. I hosted 4 amazing French guys who decided to discover Russia during the winter.
After that I hosted people from Ireland, UK, France, USA, Germany, Spain... Hope soon the geography of the CS travelers will be wider :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two most amazing things i've done happened to me in California, USA.
First this was riding the Golden Gate Bridge by bike. When the strongest wind is blowing, ocean is surrounding, fog is coming, cars are moving so fast around you... you just conquering this road. You fight against the wind and the ocean and fog and feel that you're as alive as you've never been before.

Second, i did skydiving in Napa Valley, over beautiful Californian vineyards. That's the thing you're absolutely need to do once in your life (i mean parachuting). But not sure i'll do this one more time :)
