My name is Marina. I come from Minsk, Belarus. Currently I live in Frankfurt and work in banking. I am a sociable person, who is open for everything new and unusual. I love life for the surprises and challenges that it gives to us and try to enjoy every moment of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When we visit new countries as tourists usually we have our own subjective opinion about contry, its people, culture and traditions and it's quite hard to get a real picture of the country, people's mentality over a short period of time. Couchsurfing gives us the opportunity to fill this gap, meet new friends and just interesting people, who can not only tell us about their culture and traditions, but also influence our personalities in some way and can open a kind of new way of seeing the world.

Looking to meet self-conscious and intelligent people.

Interests

Travelling! Yes, we all love it. For me it's not only the opportunity to get to know new countries, cultures and people, it also helps me to understand myself better.

I like sports. I go to the gym, running, love walking. Movement is life. It's also a kind of meditation for me.

I love reading, watching movies, dogs, chocolate, snow, sea, fresh air in the forest, beautiful pieces of art, theatre, big cities, plums from my granny's trees, talks about life, coincidences............

Interested in astrology, higher energies, buddhism, peaceful mind.
