About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To bring joy to the world. ;)

ABOUT ME

It's always hard to tell people about yourself. The topic that everyone hates since English lessons in school. But if I had to describe myself in five words, I would say: books, languages, dancing, joy and love.
I'm a very positive and interested in almost everything person. And I think that my life mission in to share my joy and inner sunshine (if one can use such expression) with people, to show them how the world is full of beauty, positive emotions and love.
I like meeting new people, exchanging experience and impressions. I'm in love with my city (St.Petersburg), so I would be glad to show it to anyone who comes here.

UPD November 2015. The thing is I have recently moved to Minsk, so now I'm learning to love this city too. I would be glad to show anyone around the city and to share my already favourite places here, as well as to discover some new ones with you. Don't hesitate to write =)
As for hosting... Well, I live together with my boyfriend, and we have a nice big couch in the living room, but having guests over is a question to discuss. Anyway, asking is never a crime =)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is given only once. Don't lose your chance!
So I try to live every day of my life at full extent.

- What time is it now?
- Adventure time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people because every person is a little universe. The more universes you discover, the fuller life you'll have. And the more diverse your own universe may become.
Plus, even if you are not traveling around the world, the world is coming to you! =)
Isn't it fantastic?

Interests

Languages, culture studies, arts, literature, photography (I hope one day I'll be able to use my camera properly), dancing (learning salsa now!), sports (fitness, swimming, skating, snowboarding), historical reenactment (WWII).

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: oh, there's so much interesting stuff to read, you just can't choose. Though, most of my favourites are Russian fantasy and science fiction writers. Plus some classics like J.R.R.Tolkien, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and many, many others. These are just the first ones to pop up in my mind.

Movies: Step Up, Take the Lead, Dirty Dancing, The 51st state, Roman Holiday, Under the Tuscan Sun

Music: Almost everything you can dance. Rock-n-roll, classic rock, R&B, latino, etc. For example, I'm a big fan of the Baseballs. =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Minsk, I think

And, of course, the lovliest and the most interesting places in my city.
