Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Maybe you noticed that i'm a member of CS since 2015 already but had no opportunity (or maybe it just seemed to be smth unreal, new and that's why scary for me) of really taking part in it. But this fall me and my friend had a month photo trip in Europe and for the first time i tried CS. And you know i'm not scary any more) I realized how important it to go out of your comfort zone, to travel, to be opened for new people, places, experiences, learn more about the world and learn more about myself! So i'm here on CS because of this)))

There is"maybe" in "accepting guests" because i live with my mom and brother (so i need to check with them). My brother is currently in the army now, so there is a free spare room for 1 person\ also for 2 people it can be an option on the big sofa in our living room)

Interests

I'm a photographer. I love to create and i love creative people. I have a small experience in making videos, interested in design staff, well there're so many things that i want to learn!) I'm a very communicative girl, like to talk, sometimes i talk too much ))) But it because i'm full of energy and i really want to share it with people, i like to stay positive, smile and laugh) Food and coffee lover. Can't say that i'm a very good at cooking but i won't stay hungry for sure))) and i will feed everybody around me) When i'm cooking i often improvise) I really like to try different cuisines, explore interesting combinations, unusual tastes in food. Dancing, oh God, i loveeee dancing! I can't say that i'm a club person. Well, yes, i like parties, i think to go to the nice bar and meet friends there, to talk, dance and listen to the music -is the best. I don't drink alcohol. (so if you see me dancing really crazy on the dance floor or whatever floor it is, I'm not Drunk, I Swear!))))) Also i like music festivals, open airs,concerts-everything that's overcrowded, full of emotions and energy, full of fun and good vibes, relaxation and people enjoying this atmosphere!) But at the same time i appreciate moments of long lonely walks with coffee to go, just me and my thoughts, enjoying the moment, watching city life, people or nature around me. I like to be active and i like sports. Try to keep my body in a good shape with running sometimes, morning exercises, bicycle and roller skating, ice skating and snowboarding (well maybe i forget how to do this because i missed several winters)

Music, Movies, and Books

I've told you already that i love dancing so first of all i like electronic dance music, but i also listen to other kinds, it depends on my mood. I prefer books made of paper. It's a pity i don't read so much as I want it, but I try to change the situation) One of the last books that i've read was "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts. I like true life stories or stories based on people's lives of different times. And yes i love movies) I have no favorite genre, everything here is also depends on my mood. Actually i don't prefer horror movies, well maybe it because of my rich imagination and impressibility))))
