About Me

People inspire me a lot. I'm extremely curious. I think that everything can be good in moderation. I'm fond of Russian & French classical fiction. I'm sure that critical thinking is very important for everyone. I'm web-handy. I'm an urban person and adore big cities. I avoid talking about politics but can keep the conversation going. I more often find friends among guys rather than girls, but still have one who is my friend for 10 years. I'm easygoing, polite and respectful to personal space. I prefer to treat people as I'd like them to treat me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make traveling another sort of experience. I don't want to meet all these hotel receptionists, I want to meet real people :)

Interests

I know a lot about nutrition and support healthy eating, but I'm not fanatic. I also like cooking and finding new dishes. I know social networks so well that could be an SMM, but I'm not :) All of my cosmetics could fit in two big suitcases. Don't worry, I won't take it all with me :))

I love concerts and have been to dozens of them by now including Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Mylène Farmer
