About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making people happy!

ABOUT ME

I'm a russian girl who was living in St Petersburg before moving in Clermont-Ferrand (France) in September 2012 for my Master studies. In 2013 I've moved to Limoges, and continue my studies here now.
I like enjoying every moment of the life and I always try to notice something unusual.
I LIKE:
painting in the glass-ware, whatching the birds and taking pictures of them. I like taking a pice of chocolate, putting it in the tong, taking a gulp of hot tea and waiting until the chocolate melt. I like oranges and lemons. I like when everything has its own place, but my room is not always in a good condition :) I like calligraphy, but I'm not good in it. I absolutely adore animals and I'm trying to be in harmony with nature. I like when a cat is licking my arms, when somebody is playing the guitar. I like when it's raining or even snowing. I like writing long messages or even letters. I like blow bubbles, chocolate and orange juice, like watching the sky, water and fire.
There's many things I like, but the only one I hate: the lonelyness.

PHILOSOPHY

LIVE, LOVE, SHARE, ENJOY !

Live every day as if it were your last. And "Life is like a box of chocolates... You never know what you're gonna get!" (Forrest Gump)
I'm a sort of naive person, who still belives in kindnes and tenderness of the world. My biggest wish is to wake up one morning and to find out in the evening on the news that this was the most peaceful day on the planet. Without any effort and without war... Funny? Not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have quite a big experience in CS, I hosted and I surfed a lot.

+ participated in some CS events and parties

--------------------
In a word, CS experience changed me and is still changing. Thank you all for being in my life, guys, this is definitely an experience to remember 4 ever. Each of you influenced me somehow. I learned a lot of new things, start trying french cheese (thanks Seb for encouragements) and cooking & painting (sometimes at the same time, thanks David!), and even support hard rock music (thanks Dario!) :) I bet I've never been as happy before! And I'keeping on ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different kinds of music, but rock (Cranberries, Scorpions), jazz and blues are my favourites. And I adore live music. Sometimes I play the guitar, but I'm only a self-taught, so I'm not really good in it. And I used to play violin when I was a child, I even have finished 7 years of a music school :)
After surfing a couch of one of my italian hosts DO like even hard rock :)(Thank you Dario, will remember that evening for ever!)

I like watching touching movies about real life, social problems or inspiring films about how much a person could achieve if he just wants to!
-The Shawshank redemption
-The green mile
-The Chorus
-Dancer in the Dark
-Tsotsi
-Die Welle

And as for books, "Flowers for Algernon", "Three Comrades", "Just Together" are my favourites. And all books of Erlend Loe :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- when I was a little girl I saw a wolf which was eating a cow... Brrrrr! I was so scared!

- was klimbing in the mountains in the wind with the rushes of 140 km/hour. SURVIVED !

Anyway, I think the life is full of interesting and unusual things, but we have to be able to see it. Even a night sky full of stars is something amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Ouf... I could teach you russian :) And..I could teach you smile! :-D

Anyway, I belive there's always something to learn from others!!!
