About Me

I live and work all my life in Minsk. The city becomes bigger and grows day by day. Sometimes I don't like the changes, but anyway I would like to show Minsk to you.
It is still not full of tourists, so there you will have more personal space :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am thankful to CS experience for the feeling of freedom it gives to me. I travel together with my 8-year -old daughter and we appreciate the people with whom we shared our time.
I have no place to share with you at my home, but we can go for a walk-talk, join the folk dance or singing class.
I like to hear the sounds of the foreign languages if even I don't understand. And yes, we have own belarusian language in the country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I havent done yet, i think). Maybe , took a cat from the street - now its a homecat. But plenty people do the same.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I found out just readig the profiles - there are plenty of people with extra-intresting hobbies, multiply interests to different aspects of life. So, I am very usual , but hope we will find something common and new in each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It depends on the weather. Most of all i like the winter time with real snow. We can go tobogganing, play snowballs, go for a walk in the forest. Or enjoy herbal tea talking about everything.

I can't host you at my place, but we may go for a walk around the city. I'll show you its attractions.
Welcome :)

Countries I’ve Visited
