Let's value our time!

And now, let me introduce myself:
One day, when I was still a pupil, I was walking along streets in Grodno. Suddenly a foreigner came to me and I heard the English speech: « Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to Sovetskaya Street?» And then it hit me: I want to be an interpreter! I want to be a lifeline for different cultures and eradicate the problem of misunderstanding!

And now, I am a student at Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno, Belarus and getting the specialty «Linguistic support of intercultural communication»

In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I am giving, considerate, broad-minded, without prejudice. Frankly speaking, I appreciate such qualities as enthusiasm, persistance, responsibility, honesty, kindness and sincerity the most one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel. To travel is to live, they say. Traveling not only teaches us the value of life, but also makes us learners and observers. It compels us to think about everything that is right and wrong with this world. Not to mention, it shows us just how beautiful this world can be, when you think there’s just no hope. It’s important for me to make memories, because they make my life more meaningful and breathtaking!

What I Can Share with Hosts

To begin with, by nature I’m used to being a leader. What is more, I am a team player and a knowledge-hungry learner. I’m full of enthusiasm and creative ideas. People say that I’m active like a live wire! All my life I’ve been trying to reach self-realization. As I see it, I am a versatile and easy-going person: to sing a song for you on the guitar, to declare your favorite poem, to go for a drive with you, to discuss your beloved book, to edit a video or to play a set in table tennis or badminton – I find pleasure and inspiration in everything.
