ABOUT ME
I was born in Georgia, but I always knew I can not live in one country for a long time... I left home when I was 20 , I travel and discover. This is when I found myself. To learn about cultures and meet people from all over the world gives me the knowledge I have been searching for... This is never ending process.I live in Brooklyn for six years, I study fine Arts in CUNY and live in the house with young people from four different countries. It has been for me the most beautiful, life changing experience.I value the fact that I can have family members who come from half of the world... It's fun and loving life.
PHILOSOPHY
Love is everything ! It is purpose of life!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Seven years ago I went to Georgia , in Tbilisi for summer break. I had wonderful friends from France who were having guests from Latvia. They told me about couchsurfing. They came to travel. For few days, I took them close to the Caucasus mountains . In my small village. I hosted them with home made wine and great organic Georgian food. It was great way to introduce them closer to my culture. I made good friends. Years later, I live in NYC and almost every month I meet new people. They become friends. They are from all over the world and nothing makes me happier than sharing this city with them. Also , when I travel I always have place to stay.

My all times favorite movie is "The English Patient"
My new favorite book became "Ali and Nino" by Kurban Said.
And I can always listen to Billie Holiday.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I Think this is great to have a seven bedroom house in Brooklyn and constantly find new roommates to move in. Mostly, I look for international students, because I have the same experience as they will. In last four years I shared my house with more than 70 people form different countries. I made friends for lifetime and I feel lucky for this opportunity. Also, I learned that its not easy to deal with many people at once... but I see the biggest change in myself. I learn how to deal with disagreements without arguments. I will share this secret : its patients! and I try to always put myself in their shoes. There is always reason why people act certain way. To try hard to understand others makes your love to the people stronger.
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe, in this world everyone has something special what others could admire. I get always very excited when I meet world travelers. What can be better than good people around you, listening their opinions about places they've been to. It's great to share your journey with others.I like to share my favorite places and get mutual opinions. Or even to disagree can be more helpful. It helps to understand true reasons. I know a lot about Brooklyn and would love to share this knowledge.
