Hello! I'm a person who travels a lot and lives in traveling without coming back "home". For example, I lived in China for 1,5 years, for four months in Laos, and half a year in Turkey and I have visited 30+ countries. I love learning languages and learning a lot about different cultures. Also, I play different instruments and write books. I published a book - a travel story collection and now I'm writing a book about life in East Africa. I'm very positive and greedy for knowledge. I think that getting to know new people is very important. Well, the people are the most important thing for people, isn't it? So I will be glad to meet you. I read a lot of books, now I prefer books that teach something, but also I'm fond of good fiction. Recently I read a psychological book "Predictably Irrational" Dan Ariel and I can recommend it. Psychology is my other passion like sociology and philosophy as well. What is about my dream? I want to do something that has a meaning to the world, do something useful and also live an outstanding and colorful life. Do you feel the same? Let's meet up!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Why am I here? Because I like people and I believe that helping each other is a pleasure and it is very important for the world
Music, Movies, and Books
I like rock, pop-punk, sounds of nature and classical music. For example, The Aria (rock band), The Beatles, The King and the Clown, Avenged Sevenfold, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones, Less Than Jake and Scriabin (classic), Rachmaninov, Johann Sebastian Bach. So I love reading books very mach. My favorite writers are Jack London, Roman Zlotnikov, Alexandre Duma and many others.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I traveled 2,5 months around East Africa by hitchhiking with my tent, I visited Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania. In savannah I ran away from wild hippo and survived 😁 I rode a bicycle for more than 1500 km, it took more than a month! I swam with wild seals in the sea Accidentally I swam 4 km along the lake :) (and just didn't understand why so I'm tried:)) I was a volunteer in a Lao school and taught English Once I spent two days and waste a bunch of nerves overtaking by motorbike a very dirty road of 60 km On the trip, I met with excellent people and we still correspond with paper letters!
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can be quiet if you don't want to talk and can be very communicative if you are in the mood to speak. We can learn languages together and share experiences about traveling and whatever :)

And more and more :) I had another account on couchsufring - https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/anastasia-zheleznova-1 I lost my access to it, but you are welcome to check it
