About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to do things, see places, meet people! Not just sit in one place and do what I do every day.

ABOUT ME

I'm sociable and willing to get friends with people.
I'm studying languages so I'm really interested in practicing my skills and getting to know new things about the language and culture, especially from native-speakers.
I love comfoort but at the same time I like to deal with difficulties because it makes me stronger, less lazy and with a more flexible point of view I think.
I love beautiful everything: things, people, views. I dream to have a good camera to be able to capture beautiful moments and make them a part of me.
I'm looking for inspiring things and people everywhere!

PHILOSOPHY

Lately I've been working a lot on my "philosophy".
So I'm shy and I'm a little afraid of new things. And I often get really conserned about things that are absolutely not wirth it.
So I want to see and live life easier, because I believe that it is easier than it often seems to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My hometown is not super attractive for tourists - so I don't expect too much surfers knocking on my door, but if they do, I'd be more than happy to offer them a place to stay. But mostly I rely on CS as a place to meet interesting hosts in interesting places =)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed only once so far: in Helsinky. I was very nervous to try this way of travel, but it turned out totally worth it!! I think this is a great way to travel and even when you're home you feel connected to the whole world, because anytime someone might ask you for a couch.

Interests

watching movies, going to the movies
hanging out with my friends
listenning to audiobooks
listenning to music
walking around the city (that is, almost any city I'm in) and daydreaming
drawing once in a while and making simple videos

Music, Movies, and Books

movies: a lot, very different kinds of them. I only don't like scary movies, got I get frightened easily (but even them I can watch with my sister and mom)
music: lately I've been listenning to Radiohead and Kings of Leon a lot. But then again, I like different kinds. I met some portugese guys for instance, they played me some portugese sings - now that makes the mood! =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

lately the Vegeland Park in Oslo keeps retuning to my mind. I think I could spend a whole week there!! I was there a year ago, with my friends - but I'd like to go there once again alone and just drown in all those images! Amazing! http://www.activistchat.com/WTC/images/vigelandWheel.jpg

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook sirinki - a russian snack =), some basic and simple things in Photoshop
I'm really not an expert in anything actually, but everything I know I'm willing to share
And I want to learn everything possible: cooking, knitting, singing, playing instruments, playing videogames.. oh everything in the world!
