I'm an open person, easy-going and friendly. I enjoy an active way of life - like long walks in nature, climbing up the hills, cycling and skiing, swimming and sitting at night by the fire.
I do some jogging with my dog, practice yoga a little, love dancing (salsa is my passion now).
I can play the guitar a little and sing.
I really enjoy communicating with people, try to explore new places and different cultures.
I'm curious about life and people.
I appreciate simple things in my life that make me feel happy - a cup of coffee, a rainy day, a long car ride or a walk, nature, deep conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy travelling and being outdoors and meeting new people.
And travelling is much more exciting when you meet the local people and see a new place from the eyes of the locals but not only visiting the most popular attractions.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh, a lot - depending on the mood mostly. Something that touches my heart and soul or body. It's classical and jazz, sometimes rock or pop or soul. Music is my life and my emotions.
Melody Gardot, Lara Fabian, Imelda May, Caro Emerald, Michael Buble, Madonna, Sting, Zaz, some jazz groups and musicians like Pink Martini, The Hot Sardines.

I don't read much and I mostly read non-fiction books and books about self-development or psychology. My favourite authors are Paolo Coelho, Erich Maria Remarque, Osho, Elizabeth Gilbert, Russian classics.

As for the films - it's the same. I love something that is deep or makes me think, or easy and positive and fun.
They are mostly dramas or romantic films or comedies, such as
And Now Ladies And Gentlemen...
Paris can wait.
Forrest Gump

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling on my own in Georgia by car with my kids (6666 km both ways) - was a real challenge for me and a real adventure.
Had a three months tour in Europe almost without money (1997- 200 US dollars for 2 people) - and one month of cycling in the south of France, sleeping in a tent.
