Hey!
My name is Mariia.

Interested in neuroscience, podcasts about medicine and history. Adore cooking, playing musical instruments and reading poems out loud. I enjoy talking about cultural differences, superstitions, marketing, psychology, medicine and physics.

I am a photographer and an English teacher.

In love with pet nat.

Fuck war. Fuck Putin.

I love oranges.
Curly hair and gently running my fingers through my hair to straighten the curls, I am self-sufficient and enjoy the little things: cutting salad while listening to music, trying to cut vegetables into neat shapes just because I have time for it. It brings calmness.
I like to observe, especially when classical music or Stephen Hawking movie soundtracks are playing in my headphones. Everything around me makes sense, and everything seems to be going exactly as it should.
I like bulgur with vegetables and black coffee. I'm still afraid of the darkness and sleep with lights on. I've grown to love cleaning, but only when I'm mentally prepared to do it. I know how to create happiness around me.
I know how to make people around me happy. The happiness of the people around me makes me happier. I know what it is to love. I know what it is to have the right people around. I know what responsibility is. I know how to communicate with people. I can teach. I can tell an interesting story.
I can cook delicious food. But that too, depends on my mood.
I can knit. I can take pictures. Show my love. I sleep well and don't rush anywhere. I love to laugh, God I love to laugh.
I like to dance. I love to create, and I love to learn. I like to memorize. Swimming and counting in my head. Especially when I get the right answer. I love mopping floors and airing out my apartment. I like to walk down the street with flowers.
I like to drink a lot of coffee. But not necessarily with sugar anymore. I like to talk, but make sure it makes sense. I don't like meaningless talk. I like to cry because of beauty. I like to run racing. I love to look at the sea. I love long walks and the smell and crackle of a campfire. I love the spring breeze and the gentle chill in the morning. I love not rushing anywhere, but watching how interesting others are doing it.

Wow, it all started with oranges. The longer I live in this world, the more I realize how many things I enjoy. I find my little pleasures in this world of much suffering and pain. But I wrote once before that we create our own worlds. We can choose what to add to ours from the whole list of things to choose from. And in this world, there are all sorts of things you can only dream of. For example, very sweet oranges. I love them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
