CURRENT MISSION

Share moments of joy with others every day!

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Sasha, I am an easy going spirit. My two favorite things in life are learning and making things - so my absolute favorite is learning how to make things. My main passions in life are arts and crafts, nature, observing and thinking about science, eating and making food, dancing to music, experiencing new things, eco-friendly stuff. I am a collector of many shiny little trinkets, and I'm obsessed with making terrariums. Currently I live in New York City for school, and it is a wild and exciting adventure every day. If I could, I would probably live in a forest tho ;-). I love to be a positive person contributing beautiful and new ideas into the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Two things - learn as much as I can, and devote each day to sharing the most joy with others. I like to spend time by myself, but I've learned that the ideas learned are only worth anything if shared with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, my current apartment is too small for hosting (my bed is the couch :P). Though I'm happy to meet up with travelers visiting the city, and hopefully the next time I'm abroad we can meet up as well!

*note, PLEASE send me an email alexandradusky@yahoo.com if you want to meet up, I don't always get messages through the couchsurfing system.

None yet, though I've heard many good things... and am eager to begin!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Realizing how valuable my family is, and how lucky I am to have them. I've been raised to listen to people and treat others fairly, and be tough enough to stand up for what I believe in... and know that anything is possible. It's something I've only started to appreciate recently, but that's made every day of my life more special.

Teach, Learn, Share

You are as powerful and incredible as you believe. This one time I was thinking about how if I believed I was the smartest person in the world, then I would be. Every persons reality is different from each other. And so in this world where I believe I am the smartest person in the world, I am, and if I truly impress you to believe it too, it's even more true. If you want to be great at something, it just starts with you believing you are.
