ABOUT ME

It's hard to write about myself... Whether I'm good, bad, kind, friendly, cruel, ugly etc. the judge is you. I think we are all different, everybody has their own opinion so after meeting me you'll decide for yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

“Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.”
― Anne Sexton

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to be open to everything new)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
To cut the long story short - it has opened complete new world for me, the one where there are no borders

Interests

I'm interested in learning about other cultures, learning about history of other countries from it's people. The most magnificent and fascinating thing for me is to listen to people's life stories. It is like reading the book written by life itself.
I am also keen on languages. Not that I know many and not like I am terrorising my guests to teach me some words or otherwise I won't let them go;) (joking of course, I am not so cruel) but I do like to discover the ways different languages are being built, to see the difference between such a close group of them that you would never guess the small line that distinguishes one from another. Culture and traditions make it even more of a puzzle, when one word might have about 5 forms according to the level of politness you want to use it in or the status of the person you are reffering to. That is something that makes my mind burn with excitement and that I would be delighted if you could share with me as my guest)
And last but not least as any person who's registered on CS I'm interested in traveling, visiting new places, meeting new people. Interested to see the world.
