About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to learn and to try as much as possible (and unpossible=) )and get fun through it.
Also to meet the most interesting and open-mind people (and I'm sure you are so) in different parts of the world

ABOUT ME

I love explore and try new things. I love life, each day, even if it's the most worst day in the last 5 years.
You usually won't find me without a smile on my face

Sport.
I participate in running races (and you know this amazing feeling to be a part of thousands of people who once (especially, in a day race) came just to run few miles in the morning).

Travelling.
Travelling became my passion. Usually I'm busy with planning my next trip and ... in most cases I'm going in unplanned jounery. I try to listen to myself and go with the flow .

Green
Live as green as I can afford but without fanaticism and promotion.

As a volunteer I work with children and now I'm a mentor for one cute boy.

What else about me? I love sunrises more than sunsets. Prefer hiking to other kinds of travelling.

And unfortunately I'm not good in english enough)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The reason why I want to try couchsurf vs. stay elsewhere is because I want to learn about real (not turistic) life, the culture, meet people and get experiences I would not otherwise get staying in a hotel, B&B, etc during a trip.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have not got much couchsurfing experience.
last years I use Airbnb service in the travel. I find it pretty close to CC in ideas and possibilities of living together with the owner. But the more I use it, the more I found that in most cases this is just rent a private apartment. And it's so hard to find there hosts, interested in meeting another person (but I'm lucky girl - I found them =) ). (you also can find some references of me in my AirBnb profile -https://www.airbnb.ru/users/show/10766618)
