CURRENT MISSION

Berlin is changing the life perspective! I'm enjoying it ;-)

ABOUT ME

30, intelligent, nice friend-)
Moved to Berlin (oh, what a city!) from Moscow to continue my education and career here. So the main task now is to get to know my new city, to enjoy this fantastic opportunity and to help my friends realize, that visiting me in Berlin is a combination of 2 pleasures-)

PHILOSOPHY

I love being a girl!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch, I surf, I couchsurf-))) I like both to host people and simply to show them around. I also spread the idea of couchsurfing as I'm absolutely fascinated by it, and now my sister and friend are also involved

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

with CS me and my sister met really great guys - we would hardly meet them otherwise and I'm very happy for that. Here comes the list:
1) a guy who intends (and actually manages) to travel the world by train and bus - good luck Mathias!
2) a guy who sings in the opera - who could have thought?-) if you're in Dresden, you can go and listen to Lukas singing
3) a REAL pilot! he might be your captain-)
4) a computer engineer, who will help me to establish international dating agency-))) Engin, we'll bring happiness to more people worldwide!
5) a guy who manages to keep his shirt perfectly ironed in a suit-case (Peter, I was stunned to see it... never to achieve myself-)
6) a guy who almost convinced me that white and yellow squares are actually modern vision of leopard in the jungles-) and made me appreciate some modern art in general (hurray Tobi-)
7) the BEST risotto chef to share his technology and ... results with us - Nicola, grazie!-)))
8) Nano - the one, who bothered to bring Chilean wine from France-))) Wonderful Chilean wine-)
9) Columbian and very strategic Luis, who left his possessions in order to guarantee the next visit to Moscow-)
10) Brazilian Carnival Victor - who supported me in actualizing long-ago forgotten ballet pas in the center of Moscow.
11) Tanya and Petro - midnight comrades in the strategic operation "Wake up half Lviv in order to open 1 lock". Thank you guys!
12) the guy with whom you can laugh non-stop for 4-5 hours - Thomas, greatly appreciated and hope we can beat this record some other time-)
13) Rafa - communicating positive attitude to our pasttime at MAKS avia show despite almost tropical-style rain. My failed attemps to organise a good activity were never appreciated in such an optimistic manner-)))))
14) Dana - with only 1 day stay she managed to brighten our mornings with wonderful coffee so many months afterwards! תודה
15) monsieur Max, who will forever remain my most favourite parisian CS! He only has to say: "Bonjour Mademoiselle", and I'm happy for the whole day!
16) Mathieu and Mathieu - who compliment the gorgeous Loire valley atmosphere in the most charming manner!
17) do you know what is Tinto de verano? If not, you miss half of the summer happiness! Matteo, thank you so much for sharing this with us and also some spanish drinking tips-)
18) now i don't have a big problem of choosing my favourite Andalusian city! Dani and Seville are in the top of the list for sure!
19) Misha - who is a wonderful host and a wonderful guest. And despite having certain views on certain subjects, still can't help liking me -)))
20) looking for a company to have a perfect girls night? Olga is a fantastic solution!
