People say I'm an open-minded, spontaneous, curious, flexible and friendly person. I'm interested in other cultures and customs. I'm fond of travelling, meeting new interesting people with the same mindset, get inspiration out of new people or places. For me travelling is one of the main sources of personnal enrichment. I also adore doing sports, especially playing tennis and skiing.

My mind is set by this:

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't have a big experience with CS, because before I've travelled a lot with my parents or friends, but last summer I travelled alone and discovered couchsurfing. For me, it is just another way of travelling that gives an opportunity to meet new people and to share experience.

Interests

I adore sports, especially tennis. When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a great tennis player to have an opportunity to travel around the world :) I didn`t become a professional tennis player, but at least I could realise my second dream. I can`t imagine my life without travelling, I think it would have no sense, if I couldn`t travel. Coming to a new place, I adore discovering it listening to local music, trying local food and, sure, communicating with people who live there, trying to feel their style of life and to understand their mindset. It gives me energy and ispiration. Also I adore wild nature. Living in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, I feel, like a lot of people who live in big cities, that I miss a lot the contact with nature. That`s why on weekends I try to go to the forest or to a park, fortunately we have a lot of them in Minsk. In summer I like cookout with my friends. And sure while travelling I try to choose destinations near the sea or mountains.
