ABOUT ME
I love to learn new things every day and I enjoy to listen to people, their stories, especially elder persons with a lot of life experience. I try to learn from everything I hear and see and experience every day.
So I love traveling (obviously), see different places, get to know another culture, interesting people and learn a new language! Before or while traveling in a country, I always try to learn some sentences in the native language - cause I want to talk to the people, I want to understand them, to get to know them. And - in my opinion - it`s also a sign of respect and interest.
PHILOSOPHY
Tu varesi gulet, kad tu busi kapa :)
(You can sleep when you`re dead)
*Karma*
What comes around, goes around.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I was hosted all over the world by now and i can't stop surfing! It makes you adiccted :)
I would love to host more people, but somehow nobody wants to visit my lovley village.....
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Only great experiences, in Russia, all over Europe, Asia and actually everywhere I go :)
Some of the best stories to tell happened on CS.
I was hosted by so many different hosts, young, old, poor, rich, living in big towns or at the countryside, and always I met interesting people and learned something new.
Interests
Does it sound silly when I say I like to learn??! Not in a school like way, but in every day live, gaining new little skills, taking small steps in becoming an old wise granny :)
I just love to dance, for myself on the bed, a choreography on stage, in the club, in the street, in the bush or with my pois (though I have to get better at that....)

Music, Movies, and Books
