Have you ever tried Johary window where several of your friends appraise you / describe your personality? My ones say, I am "accepting, calm, caring, clever, complex, confident, funny, friendly, giving, idealistic, independent, intelligent, kind, logical, modest, organised, reflective, searching, sentimental, shy, warm, helpful, knowledgeable, loving, trustworthy". May be a little bit controversial, but I appreciate their contribution to my self-confidence :))

My motto is "be the best of myself" and be in harmony with myself and with the environment - both natural and social.

CS-ing is one of the best ways to break some limitations of everyday routine and go beyond, open oneself to new friends and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy being a host and be hosted by the people living in the areas of destination. This way I'm introduced/introducing local cultures, ways of life and youth cultures. I'm always ready and open for making friends and explore the new ways, new perspectives of life, and this virtual space is one of the best ways for these.

As last time I'm getting a lot of absolutely "impersonable" requests without even mentioning my name in greeting, I wonna tell certain category of couchsurfers that I'm not neither hostel nor Tinder girl (of course, I've nothing agianst them, just trying to let you know that CS has different purpose to me). So, if you have looked through my profile, start or finish your message with the phrase "What a wonderful day". Otherwise I won't consider your request.
