About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be here and now

ABOUT ME

I was graduated from university and started to work in the audit company - PwC, global network, which is in so called "Big 4". Since then I spend a lot of time at work.
To survive while working as a slave :) I'm practicing yoga (more than one year) and it is totally my passion. Also I'm a vegetarian and practicing meditation.
As well I loooove dancing and do all kind of sports (snowboarding, cycling and gym are my favorite).
And, of course, I can not mention my ongoing passion for travel. This is the thing that makes me happy, helps me to expand the horizons of my mind, to become more tolerant and as a result find myself in a life chaos.

PHILOSOPHY

The main point for me is a permanent self-development. I believe that there is only progress and regress. You can't stand on one level for a long time. So my choice in life is progress: in your mind, body and conciseness.
I strongly believe in God but I don't understand religions. For me they are just a set of rules and fairy tales. But there is no religion higher then truth. God is Love, that's it. If you ever felt the real Love to the World, if you just once saw the sunset that you breathed in with all its energy, if you swam in the sea or ocean and felt its power comparing with witch you're a dust, you start to feel Love, and you start to be everything, because God is inside of you. I can't understand how you can be atheist after this. And I'm trying to keep this feeling inside of me every blessed moment in my life and share it with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now I'm trying to participate in CS meeting in Saint Petersburg that is organized every Thursday. I've hosted only once (a great couple form France) and I'm not sure that I have possibility to do it again in the nearest future as I live with Mom and my boyfriend is not excited about it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I and my friend Kristina spend unforgettable one month in Euro trip and, can you imagine,we haven't spent even one night in a hotel! We was being hosted by a lot of amazing people, shared with them our experience, energy and positive vibes. I'm grateful to my life that I had so great chance to know myself and the world around me better talking with these unique and wise people that i've met.

Interests

I love to be surprised with all awesomeness of people and places around, every new experience is so cool and breathtaking. I eager to know more about life in Milan and Italy, to walk around beautiful city and enjoy every damn second!!! Wish to see You soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was living for one month practically without saying "No" during Eurotpip. A lot of funny things happened to me and my friend.
Meditating on the top of the hill in the sunset in India and felt myself a dust and an everything at the same time. Amazing.
