About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Understand myself and the world around me.

ABOUT ME

I am a raw vegan girl interested in self-knowing, different types of outdoor activities, sports, meeting new people and cultures.
I am trying to find my way in this life; I am friendly, sociable, easy-going, curious, energetic, active, spontaneous, interested in new things, positive and optimistic. Life has to be lived and not observed.

PHILOSOPHY

Do good, think good, feel good.

The truth is in nature and arts.

All, that you do in this life, will return to you.

If you are doing something, try to do your best.

Treat other people the way you would want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling and good intelligent people from all over the word teach me in different areas of life, I am so grateful I can meet such people, talk to them, learn their points of view and share my thoughts and beloved places with them.

Interests

Foreign languages and new cultures. Language and culture are our identity in the light of which we are seeing the reality and percieving the world. It is extremely interesting to learn new Weltanschauung, or world views.

My passion is beeing in nature. Biking, backpacking, kayaking, hiking, mountains, camping are impotant things for me, I can't imagine myself without beeing in nature.

Moreover, arts attract me. Arts drive into ecstasies: through it sometimes its possible to understand better the world and to enjoy and appreciate real beauty. Art is a mirrow of life, seen with smbs eyes. After stopping eating animal food, I became much more selective in art.

I do sports in order to maintain body and as consequence soul in tone.

A couple of years ago I became vegan, so I have been absorbing a lot of information regarding raw vegan nutrition and observing changes in my body, mind and soul.

Self-knowing and fasting became my points of interest, too.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different music, first of all classical music, good live improvisation.
Books and movies with sense and good plot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every moment is amazing and should be lived and appreciated.
Some events are more outstanding:
Going Three Pass Everest Base Camp Trail in 21 day in Nepal with friends without porters ;)
Climbing Elbrus 5621 m with friends during our two-weeks backpacking tour (sleeping in tents all the way :)
Parachute jump (with instructor, 30 sec free fall)
9 day fast on water, 5 day fast without food and water
Lots of bigger and smaller outdoor tours and activities at amazing places with amazing people around

Teach, Learn, Share

I will share wih you my love for life, nature, the place where I live, my country, my passion for outdoors, national parks, forest, lakes, riveres, national trasures and rural areas. I cannot tell you the best bars and restaurants in the area (I don't visit them at all) but I can show you the best natural places, authentic villages, interesting museums, lakes, riveres, forests, places with unique traditions and handicrafts... I can teach you how to live in wild nature.
I will share with you my knowledge in raw vegan nutrition, fasting and practicies.
I will appreciate if you share with me your experience in self knowing and world-knowing.
I can teach you languages I speak, tell you about cultures I encountered, share my experience in outdoors. I am open to everything new to learn: knowledge and experience are not luggage, I do not have to carry them on my shoulders. Knowledge and experience are treasure.

I will share with you my love for my native country. Who knows, maybe your next destination will be Belarus. Belarus is not only Minsk. I would say, Belarus is not Minsk. If you have seen only the capital, you cannot feel the atmosphere and spirit of the country. Belarus is a unique, authentic, bautiful country with untouched, undiscovered, wild nature, unique traditions and handicrafts, rich culture, outstanding rural areas which you must see.

What I Can Share with Hosts

At the moment I don't have possibility to host people.
I am ready to meet with you, show you surroundings, go hiking or maybe even backpacking.
