ABOUT ME

People usually describe me as a VERY active and smiling person :) I like taking part in different activities, meeting new interesting people, and enjoying the time and life in general. I believe, that everything what comes to your life comes for some purpose, that's why I try not to lose any opportunity. I like to share my ideas and get to know other opinions or points of view. This is one of the reasons why I LOVE travelling so much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a lot of friends, who happened to be couchsurfers, and I realized, that it's more a 'style of life', rather than just a network. I live my life like this - host some people, who are my friends, friends of my friends, or friends of my friends of my friends... :). In a similar way I sometimes stay at the places of my friends, friends of my friends, ... you know ;) And it's time to do all this through the network, which was created exactly for this :) So, I registered on CS, with hope to find here new friends, new places and new experiences... and I did! During all these years I met a lot of wonferful people, many of them became my friends and I'm very happy of that. I love CS for this great opportunity to meet people I would probably never met other way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surfing was in Germany, and I liked a lot the experience and guys that I met there. I have also hosted people at my home in St Petersburg, and have been traveling a lot with couchsurfers.

Interests

I like travelling, obviously )) discover new places, meeting new people, and in any place I'm visiting, I like to meet with locals, get to know about their life, live their life for some time.. I believe, that it's the best way to discover new countries and new cultures. I like history, in every new place most of all I like to visit the historical places. I like nature, beautiful landscapes, mountains, lakes.., like to spend my time on the open air, far from the city bustle. But I also like concerts, different events, interesting activities, I like the theater, music, and cultural life ) The best for me it's a combination of impressions, like a harmony ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to different kind of music, mostly rock music, but in my play-list You can easily find music of different styles and languages )

As for movies and books, I like a lot the interesting ideas, which You can find in some good movies or books, for me the best mark of any movie or book - it's if they make me think about smth, and reflecting on the new ideas, and new point of view.. And it can be one small idea in the whole boring movie, but I will still like it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn! New things, new skills, new experiences.. Always learning, developing and growing up) That's important. And I like to share my knowledge with others - I do it by conducting trainings, mentoring, and simply sharing of what I can.
