About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling and meeting people

ABOUT ME

I'm a QA engineer. And it's a diagnosis, I know ^^). But I really like it cause this job is a combination of research and eagerness to build a perfect world.

The best thing you can do for me is to share my interests or gift me the new one.

I'm always open for an unknown experience. Except struggle.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good person and surround yourself by the same people.
If you can't do it right may be you shouldn't do it at all...
There're a lot of garbage cans in the world. Use them, please.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll be glad:
- to show you all that I know and love in my city
- to have a short conversation or more serious dialogue with you
- to see new places

...and all that stuff ^^)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once I was a hostess of two nice girls from Germany. It was a case of emergency for them. So I couldn't refuse though my couch is less than I wish to offer.
Great experience! Only positive emotions. I could hardly imagine that they might be so kind.

Interests

I'm interested in a lot of things.

sport - watch (football, biathlon, ice hockey, figure skating) and play (bicycle, ski, roller skates, volleyball, table tennis, swimming,...);
music - listen to all the day & trying play guitar;
movie & TV Series - they must be just interesting;
literature - use for reading any free minute (in transport, for instance);
english language - it opens the borders!
travelling of course ^^) - it's my highest priority for now.
