About Me

Hi! I'm Ana. I want to see and recognize the world while I'm here. I've changed a lot of occupations and now work as web developer. I adore reading, tasty food (to eat and prepare), cycling and spend time with friends outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had my first big trip in 2011. To Spain. It was first visit to Western Europe and also first couchserfing experience! It was really great. All people, who host us or with whom we just met thanks to couchserfing, was very kind to us, open-mind and very hospitable. I admire this experience very much! Since that time I dearly loved couchserfing. In Belarus I’ve hosted several people. It was really very funny. Thanks, guys! Unfortunately, I can't host anyone now, cause moved to new appartment, which is really too small. But you are always welcome for walk around the city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I always try to find something new. I listen to a lot of music, the styles of which can hardly be recognized. It's mix of jazz, rock-n-roll, folk and many many others. (Cocteau Twins, Davey Graham, Tom Waits, Morphine, Beck, Krambambula, Muse, System of a Down, Red Hot Ch. P., Korn, Radiohead, Tom York, Coldplay, Nirvana, Linkin Park, Cocorosie, Morphine, BOB Marley:)) What concerns books, I prefers classical literature. My favorites are Dostoevsky, Kundera, Eco. But it doesn't mean, that I don’t read modern authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling through Belarus is always amazing. We have really great natural places, a lot of swamps, rivers and the oldest forest in Europe - Belovezhskaya Pushcha. People who say that Belarus is flat, just never try to make bicycle trip from Minsk to Rakaw. Each year we made big bicycle or kayaking trip in our beautiful country. And every time it's great.

Teach, Learn, Share

Great news! Now you don't need visa to visit Belarus, if your trip not longer than 30 days and you have flight directly in Minsk. Just write me for details.
