About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Recently read about my missions and realised they have been accomplished, not entirely but I am not far.
So for now the mission for me is to find a correct doors in all this labyrinth and find out where are they leading me. You know as in many movies the truth is behind the correct doors so let's sees how it goes :)

ABOUT ME

Girl coming from small country in Northern Europe. I guess typical example of girl working in the office who decided to change the path she was walking on so I turned left instead of going straight. One day applied for a visa to New Zealand and my journey begun. Since then have traveled in Asia and traveled and lived in New Zealand. I definitely have travel bug, always checking tickets to some destinations and there is no end.
The most what I find attractive in people is their smile and laugh as I can`t stop smiling and laughing myself. I smile even in awkward and sad moments which is how I just go through the moments. Cheerful, smiling, caring, optimistic and hard working person.
I can say not judgmental person as I always try to see myself in the positions others are or I just know I have made the same mistake and choice. In tough moments I still find reason why I am lucky :)
Definitely turning everyone's life upside down when I become their friend. My friends are telling me I should write a book, there is always something happening in my life, would for sure not use word boring hehe
I am not ashamed to say it but if I get compliments I always say "I know" or "I'm adorable". Makes people smile everytime and no, I am not narcissistic and super confident person :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Simply hosting and surfing :)
For now I am out of reach as do not have my own place but always hope to find it to host some awesome guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Can say only positive things about couchsurfing. I have met so many amazing people.
All the sharing moments, opinions, stories and laughs have showed me how world is different and beautiful and how much I have to learn .
When I host guests I usually prefer to do it when I have free time so I can spend time with them. I am happy when I can show surfers the city I am living in and when sb can show me the city I am visiting - its the best way to explore it. Small streets, places, to eat and even the pubs which are not known and mentioned in touristic maps :)

Interests

Learning new languages
Traveling
Hiking
I like to paint but tools are heavy so usually have scratching book in my bag. Though sometimes I just very much dislike shadowing part xD
Sometimes sitting with book in my hands and enjoying calm evening :)

Music, Movies, and Books

At this moment I think I cant specify anymore my favorite book, to many different genres and authors.
I think the latest book I really got into was Jeffrey Deaver "The bone collector"
Movies
I think I just woke up and went crazy for comic book movies but they really concore world now.
I love historical movies but specifically about times in Egypt, Greece, Constantinople etc.
Obviously good comedies but for the last couple of years haven't found any good but somebody can always argue about it with me :P
Music
Its time now for some indie folk rock, rock, hard rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lately I am trying to do things I have never done. I think it's going pretty well.
I definitely can say skydive from 16 500ft, maybe its nothing impressive but for the person with big fear of heights - it was fantastic and no fear at all
First scuba dive and straight away with sharks

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles, stories, cup of tea or glass of nice wine or just calm evenings watching TV
I am always into cooking, have even practiced in vegan cooking :)
I think I am always into everything and not just because I don't know how to say NO but I like doing things. If we decide to go for a swim at 6am I am in or sudden hunger appeared to do some early or late hike I am as well in.
