ABOUT ME

Every day is unique, every person is unique, every creation of our nature is unique! I try to live every my day, every second exploring something new, unknown for me. I like to learn about new cultures, to meet new interesting people, to visit beautiful places on our Earth.

In 2009-2010 I was an exchange student in the USA, in California, Bakesrfield, where I got acquainted not only with American culture and life, but with couchsurfing in particular. And I loved it soooooooooo much that I cannot wait to have my personal appartment to start hosting couchsurfers who come to visit my city - Vladivostok.

I am very easy-going, active, sociable and with "healthy" sense of humour, and I value the same qualities in others.
And big "backpack" of funny activities, adventures from my life always helps me to organize wonderful trips and any activity.
Positive attitude to life, confidence in your strength and honesty with yourself and others - these are key elements to enjoy life.
