I have 2 degrees – bachelor of management in tourism, bachelor of journalism. And looks like I will not stop for it… =)
First degree gives me passion for a travelling. Second degree helps me to understand world and people. But my real profession - is music. It’s my highly paid hobby =)
Personal development is the most important part of my life. I believe that every day should bring you new knowledge and skills. That’s why I never stop. I do everything to make myself better, than yesterday.
My husband’s name is Artem. He’s businessman. He has his own company. He’s company works in industrial climbing. They do a lot of different works (cleaning, repairing) on a high building. He’s a really sporty. He’s a kind, generous, true gentleman=)
We are simple people. We love to make discoveries – new food, new roads, new countries, new people and places. We love an active lifestyle.
We don’t like disco, a lot of alcohol and dances (but don't mind about glass of vine or beer😊), prefer quiet talk with interesting person.
We do not smoke.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchserfing shows that money is not main thing in our life. I like this philosophy.
Couchserfing is a model of new world. This world is not limited to office work and supermarket. This world is full of interesting, open minded, unselfish people. I want to be a part of this new, true world.
