Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spread smiles all over the world :)
The world is better than you think...but don't forget to stay alarmed =)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted friends and I've been hosted by people from all over Ukraine, Russia, Turkey (they were friends and friends of friends and friends of friends of friends, then I found this page...wow).
It's always a wonderful experience to learn customs, habits, local pecularities, languages, history and all the stuff which is different from what I am used to.

Interests

1. Languages (the funniest thing is to learn the sounds which are not there in the languages I know)
2.Cross-cultural communication (be as caring as possible...and it's always possible)
3.Football (EURO 2012 Poland-Ukraine was a fantastic lifetime experience! Brazil 2014 was awesome!)
4. Discovering (not just travel but learn&share smth really important)... long discussions, sharing opinions, experiences, etc.
5. Finding a relative soul.
