About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love people

ABOUT ME

I try not to lose a minute of life, though sometimes it`s hard to fight laziness
I love partying, communicating, meeting interesting people and talking to them, making new friends, cooking, learning new in many different spheres.
I would like to travel all over the world, not just like a tourist, but feeling every country, every city, its spirit.

Occupation:
I love yoga, and I occasionally teach Hatha and Vinyasa styles since I've done a 200h TTC in April 2017. I find it one of the good ways of living.
I make macrame with natural stones. Check it out here https://www.facebook.com/stonedmacrame/
I write texts for some projects. I make translations in Rus-Eng-French languages.
I teach English sometimes :)
I'm fond of circus stuff. Mostly I do hula hooping (single, double, LED and fire), but I also enjoy contact staff, hats, contact ball, poi, ... so far that's it :) Would love to try aerials! And the Cyr wheel.

I'm keen on music, arts, active lifestyle. And sometimes - lazy lifestyle :)) With series, books and nice long sleep...
I used to learn playing drums and piano.

And, also, I`m a vegetarian with a big sympathy to vegans and raw eaters. I don`t smoke tobacco and I don't drink beer - both are not of a nice taste (for me) and give no effect.

PHILOSOPHY

Now--is the only & the best time we have. Be happy and share your happiness with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfing, you get essential knowledfge how to be a good host, and vice versa.

Some details which I`m sorry to delete and would prefer to keep for a while. Hosting:
Spring 2013, I hosted a french guy Wanis for 2-3 days, and by the end of his last night in Moscow he looked so Russian ;)
Autumn 2013, I hosted Kostib from Germany, he had a classical music for an alarm on the phone and managed to get extremly cheap tickets ti the theatres.
July 2014 - Oxana from Germany stayed couple of nights at my place, very easy-going and optimistic.
Autumn 2014
2 guys from Germany came for approximately 3 days - and that happened to be the period when I found a lot of fun in drinking vodka - so we had a good time (at least i think so), we met with some my friends and went to the Mybar once.
Marco, a Swiss guy came for maybe 5 days, met lots of my friends, we visited couple of concerts - and he appeared to be so common- and broad-minded, that it was a pleasure to meet him, even if I didn`t have much time because of work.

--and then memories start to mix in one shiny perfect impression ---
Thank you, dear hosts, for sharing your life with me :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
I just found Cortázar and recently read Vian - so now I`m these authors` fan. Not mentioning russian classics, esp. Dostoevskiy and Chekhov (sory for my triviality). And Pelevin - I just have one such special story connected with his literature, that he will stay with me for whole my life - i can tell more if we meet (:
