CURRENT MISSION

live and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I enjoy travelling. But the more I travel the more I understand that it's people and communication that really matter. From every trip I bring home memories about new people I've met and stories we've shared. Couch surfing and hitch-hiking keep persuading me that the world is really good, full of great easy-going people who can help you in trouble. I seek new impressions rather than comfort and hope to make contacts which will last. I don't smoke and drink occasionally, and I'm quite indifferent to nightlife and clubbing.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is wonderful and every day this idea is proved. Whatever happens, it leads to the better. Small troubles aren't worth worrying about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travelled and stayed with several hosts in Poland, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. I used to attend CS meetings (when my job allowed me to) and make friends with lots of Csurfers from Belarus and abroad. One of these aquaintances developed into something really amazingly close - this girl has become a member of my family.

Interests

Various cultures, travel, communication, making friends, reading, the history of art and architecture, classical music (and a few rock and pop bands), studying all sorts of dances (Irish, Medieval, folk, belly dance, latina, lindy hop), intellectual games, boat trips (kayaking). I enjoy my job for its own sake, and besides, it enables me to exercise my creative talents and take part in numerous school performances, where I sing, dance, play small roles and do whatever the director orders ))

Music, Movies, and Books

As a philologist I'd say that I like almost anything written after the 17th century. Prose is preferred over poetry. In general I don't like silly modern women's novels and detectives.
In music I enjoy something I can dance to - disco, folk, old jazz (pre-war time), latin-american tunes, ballroom dances, Italians of the 80-s, and Scorpions and Queen. And multi-vocal singing such as Turetsky Choir.
What concerns movies, I prefer old Soviet films, and on the whole something intelligent, thought-provoking, kind, romantic, non-violent, definitely not vulgar American youth comedies
