About Me

I live in contrasts. I get excited about crazy things and crazier people but I'm also quite shy. One that doesn't change is my open-minded and curious nature. Enjoying catching impulses and following them. I deeply love all the living creatures and the development of a connection.

My loved ones:

Equality

Knowledge
Balance
Respect
Yoga

Spontaneity

Cycling on orange, empty streets at night

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Is there any better way to get in touch with the authentic world than hanging out with local people where ever you are? Locals with their various lifestyles are the key to understanding.

Interests

Empathy is a big part of me and I always go for understanding people and their reasons of acts.

I adore art and I'm forever seeking the ways to express myself through it. I draw, I dance, I act, I sing, I photograph, I film, I write, I'm a novice pianist, I’m makeing a documentary... Just trying to keep myself productive and inspired.

I'm vegan and always ready to put a new recipe into test! I do love cooking together :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. It was incredibly calm and beautiful experience, even meditative.
