About Me

CURRENT MISSION
integral perception with the nature

ABOUT ME
Passion, spirit, feeling
daring and dreaming
making it come true...

I'm Russian with a quite standard Moscow back ground (studying, carreer) and once I realized it was not enough for me I left for a trip in South America.

I met a huge mate ( https://www.couchsurfing.org/people/mat-bat/ ) with whom we have travelled couchsurfing for 14 months in South America and it was a WONDERFUL experience. We made a round trip in South America by car.

And I settled in Argentina, I found the love of my life, and for the first time I'm going to experience to receive people.

MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN COUCHSURFING
I started using couchsurfing since the trip to Latin America. I was travelling with my ex-boyfriend, and we discovered an amazing way of travelling with CS. You are not isolated in a hotel room, but you really get knowing people and cultures and sometimes you get to know people that you would never meet in any other ways.
I loved this experience. Living together with the CS hosts makes you know much more about the country, the culture and person himself. I've made wonderful friends by CS.

About myself.
I like a real experience, that makes you breath deeply and feel the world around you.
I believe that the life consist in living it 100% and it means laughing when you what to laugh and crying when you feel tears droping down. It is not about making an image that other people might want to see, but it is about discovering your own way of feeling and being.
I practice music, yoga, arts, handcrafts, organic gardening, drinking herbs and eating according to the human being.
I study music: piano and living.
I am passionate about my life, my family, my husband and our pets.
I like everything that is new and try to open my mind when I meet something that I do not understand.

Though sometimes I get too loud and emotive, and talk too much, but usually it takes time to show my poorest qualities) I had no such incidents with CS hosts)) So do not worry about that.
I respect smoking and drinking good drinks, but I never violate the rules of the host's house.

PHILOSOPHY
"All paths are the same. They lead nowhere. They are paths going through the brush or into the brush or under the brush of the Universe. The only question is: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then it is a good path. If it doesn't, then it is of no use." (c) don Juan Matus (Carlos Castaneda)
