CURRENT MISSION

carpe diem: seize the day, make your life extraordinary!

ABOUT ME

I like the change. One of my distant ancestor was gypsy, my mother owns a tiny travel agency.. everything endues me with strong desire for traveling.

I like the idea of constant change.
I've spent one year studying and interning in Germany. I've changed 6 workplaces. Now I'm working in an international consulting company, teaching pupils German in my spare time, dancing salsa, doing sport and having fun with my friends.

Recent opinion about me:
...I thought that you are older than me, 25 or so..
...you can do it. You are a picture of life!

I perceive each person as a great treasure. To search for good traits in people - my mission. I like to learn from the others. The truth is beautiful, quarrels are ridiculous.

PHILOSOPHY

I do as much as I can + I have good luck = the result follows, no doubt!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a shared apartment known worldwide as "Kommunalka" with a couple in their 50-s, that's why I can't offer a place to stay: they are afraid of unknown people living in their flat.
But sightseeing is not a problem!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm already in CSing for 3 years.
The first experience was so good (I should say: "thank you, Merlin, thank you, Marcel, Milan, Mona!"), that it had convinced me: CS is great. That's why I went on CSing and it became part of my life. New people, places, histories - time and time again..
Since a very intensive CS year I haven't traveled via CS more. But my CS friends have visited me several times and I hope they'll come again.
I'm looking forward to actively participate in CS in the nearest future
