About Me

ABOUT ME

Sometimes I'm shy, quiet and homey, and sometimes - adventurous, tough and enterprising. You'll probably meet the second one =) I appreciate my home and comfort, but once I've left them behind "I may wind up in the street or sleep beneath a tree, still I guess you know I've gotta go", like in Janis Joplin's song. Meeting new people and learning new culture is well worth all this, for travelling is my biggest passion, and I hope to share it with you =)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still small, but extremely positive! I'm very excited about meeting people from different countries and cultures, and exploring the "inside" of the countries I visit instead of the tourist-adapted images.

Interests

Chinease tea art; Indo-European spiritual culture, symbols and languages; hitch-hiking, forest camping and travelling abroad; decorating; epigenetics; evolution and the origin of mankind.
