ABOUT ME

I often have a very strong feeling that i need to run somewhere, i don't know where and why, just run. As if something inside of me doesn't let me keep still, and i need to run as fast as i can.

PHILOSOPHY

УДИВЛЯЙТЕСЬ!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used CS quite a few times now, but only as a surfer.
I really want to start hosting people, the only problem is i don't have my own place.. But as soon as i get it (and i hope that will happen, sooner or later), you're welcome!
______________________________________
BREAKING NEWS:
I've started hosting people again!
If you want to stay at my place, please, note:
- My room is tiny, so i can only host one person at a time, sorry.
- I will never accept requests from people who can't spell my name right (P-l-e-a-s-e, if you copy-paste your requests, at least make sure you got the name right, it's not cool to recieve requests addressed to Kates, Anns and Janines).
- Please read "Alina's Home" section in order to avoid misunderstandings.
That's pretty much it, everyone is welcome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every single time is unforgettable!

Interests

A little bit of this, a little bit of that..
Dancing: hip-hop, latin dance, 大妈舞哈哈哈 and ballet (i was kicked out of a ballet class when i was 10, but i still enjoy watching it)

Music: i sing all the time, i don't even yawn like normal people do - i sing while i yawn (trust me, you don't wanna hear that).

Reading: i've loved it since i was a little kid, thank you, mom and dad! And one of my favorite places to hang out in are local bookshops - i love the smell of new books plus you can find some most interesting people there.

Looking for something new every day: these new things don't have to be big and important, they can also be very little and insignificant, like a new way from work to home, or a new cool song, or a fun fact about anything in the world, or a new ice-cream flavor, or a funny joke you heard on the streets and going to tell all your friends, or a new place to have dinner.. I guess that's what prevents me from getting tired/bored of everyday routine.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, it's like a drug to me, every week i need a new portion.
My preferences are indie pop, indie rock, experimental, instrumental, post rock.

Movies: am a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings. I even have a ritual that's been going on for years: I spend every 1st of January watching the thrilogy (director's cut, of course). I believe this is the best possible way to begin a new year.

Books:
Irving Stone - Lust for Life
John Fowles - The Collector
Jostein Gaarder - Orange Girl
Ian McEwan - Amsterdam
Jerome K. Jerome - Three Men in a Boat
