Hello there! I'm Maria, and interested in meeting interesting people.

Привет! Меня зовут Мария, мне интересно познакомиться с интересными людьми. Неплохо говорю по-русски, но на английском удобнее.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am not on Couchsurfing a lot anymore. But sometimes it is good to leave your comfort zone a bit and connect with strangers)

Intereses

In daily life, my preoccupations are: Eastern Orthodoxy, geoinformatics, martial arts. I make a conscious effort to explore specifically these topics, though I am a curious person in general.

I love to engage with beauty, in the form of nature, architecture, traditional art, good design, sincere people. And it is important for me to live a healthy lifestyle. To stay active, to be mindful of what you consume, and keep peace of mind.

Música, películas y libros

With anything, I consider the content. It's better to not spoil our minds with certain messaging.

MUSIC | wide variety of genres. Typical Caribbean tunes aren't my thing, ironically. Recently I've been more into Russian music, mostly hip-hop, but I have a fondness for post-hardcore and early-2000s EDM. Classical piano and Latin American music is also cool.

BOOKS | writings that challenge currently-held perspectives. It's great when the entire storyline or character arc turns out to have been an analogy for some sorta commentary. The past year or so, I've been reading mostly Orthodox texts, and scientific articles.

I used to love movies. Nowadays, I just don't find them to be the best spending of my time. I prefer to be outside or to communicate with people. Instead of watching movies, it's better to experience life for myself)))
