About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be HERE and NOW

ABOUT ME

Everyday I promise to myself that I will be waking up at 5 a.m. and going to bed before 10, so far so good. Although I am positive that some day (better soon than later) I will keep that promise! Other than that I like keeping promises, and I'd rather not make that promise than not follow it. And yes, I strongly believe that people shouldn't make promises that they can't keep, especially to oneself.

It's probably not a very good way to start a personal description))but hey, I'm new here, and I think everything is possible!

My friends would say that I like people, in general. I tend to think that first impressions might be falsy, but do trust my intuition, which is crazily trustworthy (if I listen to it, of course). So I usually like giving a chance to people.
My friends would also say that I love to laugh, and a good sense of humor is essential to people that I meet along the way.
I can be moody sometimes, but do my best so it won't affect you while you're around me. Can be a challenge, though)
I am many things when you get to know me!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met really nice people and made friends through CS!

Interests

People grab my attention. I like to observe, watch, think. it's probably got to do with my first occupation - journalism.
I always carry around my Kindle, reading is one of the main stones in my life. And writing, of course. Don't be surprised if in the middle of the conversation I'll grab my notebook and start scribbling something.
I miss my piano, but hope that some day I will have one in a place that I will finally call "home".
Oh, and did I mention that I love drinking tea?
Cats are my favorites in terms of having a pet, and cockroaches...well, if I see one, I can faint, honestly.
I love traveling. of course, I do! I love meeting new people along the way, and I can't say what fascinates me more - people or places.
I love sitting at home. At times it can be more comforting than traveling.
Family and friends are essential in my life, but I also like to spend time alone, with myself, because I think I am my best friend and teacher.
I love water and swimming, although I am not that professional in that.
Yoga, Mandala Dancing, Meditating - they all have a big place in my heart and life.
I should stop right here).
