ABOUT ME

I live in Siberia all my life. My major was Editing and publishing and I work as a journalist, editor or someone connected to this area since I graduated. I like board and logic word games, photography and graphic design.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everyone should find what he likes and do it all his life! But I'm still looking for it myself through) For me it is more important to be a kind person than a smart one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Many friends of mine are couchsurfers. They hosted a lot of nice people and I've spend a lot of time with their guests too. After i got married I moved so my husband https://www.couchsurfing.org/people/danilnik/ and me have enough space for guests and we hosted many people ourselves.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For now I used CS as a surfer 3 times: in Bali (Indonesia), Thailand(Phuket) and Russia(Saint-Petersburg). I have only good experience these times and should say that all our guests were nice people too.

Interests

I like photography! I'm fond of old film cameras. I have 3 of them(soviet cameras Zenit-3M,Kiev-4 and plastic Vilia). They make you think not only push the button. To be fair I should say that my digital Nikon is loved almost the same way.:) As a real girl I like cooking and weaving braids.

Also I like dancing: I have some experience with historical danсes, ballroom dancing, flamenco and tango argentino.

What also? In brief: board games, european(BD) and asian comics, idea of traveliving.
