About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoying everything I do

ABOUT ME

Well, as something to begin with, I'm a future specialist in intercultural communication.
I'm into learning languages and different cultures from all over the world. That's really exciting :) I'm especially interested in Germany and Scandinavian countries.
I feel very close to nature and grab any chance to go hiking or simply try to get out of town as often as possible. I love long walks and cycling.
And I love animals of course, especially dogs and wolves. I'm very interested in cynology.
Music is my passion, I can't imagine what my life could be without it. It would be much more poor, I have no doubts about it.
I play guitar a bit... well, I'm learning to play guitar... :)
Some random facts about me:
Usually I do have something to tell about and I'm always up to whatever is going on. But...I can be really quiet at times, and sometimes lack words, especially in English :)
I don't smoke... but I don't mind people smoking.
I have a cat. Really love her very much.
I love mountains. Understood that from the very first time I got there.
I'd like to take up parachuting and horse riding. And I'm going to get a driver's license for a motorbike!
I know a guy, who's parents breed ostriches in Tyumen, Siberia..

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is impossible as long as you believe in it (c) Rudolf Schenker

Life's short and goes too fast;
Most pages burn
Don't wait; the end's too near
Some people never learn
You all won't fall; the road fever calls
So run or fly; don't crawl
(c) Twisted Sister

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If anybody is interested in my native town in Russia - you are very much welcome. Unfortunately I don't have a couch available, but I'll do all my best to show you around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hey, I've managed to find a guy, who was going to Tyumen! That was very unusual to be someone's guide... but I loved it! That's so interesting, to meet people from different towns and places... so everybody is welcome :)
And I was lucky to couchsurf in the US a bit... I'm still being amazed at my hosts.
