About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover as many things about myself as possible

ABOUT ME

I consider myself to be quite sociable, open, friendly and an emotional person, who likes to gain new experience in different areas of life.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everything that is happening to us has a reason. Every second of our life has its value. Even when something unpleasant happens to us, we need to remember, that every cloud has a silver lining, it makes it easier to stay positive and explore your own strengths. I believe in the power of thoughts. If you want something really badly, you will find a way to get it. Face your fears, because there is always a reason behind them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My best friend was the one, who told me about CS and since then I have been hosting people and have been hosted by others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in many countries and this experience has been extremely colorful. My hosts have been people of different ages,interests and background, which made it even more unforgettable!

Interests

My biggest passions are art and culture. I love going to theater, concerts, festivals, cinema, lectures about culture, museums. I'm really interested in psychology and that's what I have been studying since 2006, I'm interested in meeting new people, in having nice conversations on different topics. I'm also interested in photography. I admire people, who can catch special moments and memorize them with a help of a camera. I enjoy dancing a lot, it helps me to relax, deal with stress and to get tons of positive emotions.

Music, Movies, and Books

Art house films are my passion (Jim Jarmush, Emir Kusturica, Peter Greenaway, Tim Burton, Roman Polanski). I like indie and music of Balkans, however I am open to all kinds of experience, so I can also attend industrial or reggae festivals and concerts and get positive emotions out of them. My favorite author is Dostoevskij, i like the way he describes unique psychological experience of his characters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned how to play violin in four lessons and became a part of an orchestra for the concert at the train station in Denmark.
Experimented with exotic cuisine, trying out everything from the crawling to the squeaking ones.
Made giant soap bubbles for village kids of India and Africa.
Was teleported back to 70’s to live among hippies without electricity, chemicals and other “luxuries” of modern civilization, in the mountains of Andalusia.
Was escaping from sands of the Iranian desert, covering myself with hijab.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
