- Nope...

(Typical introduction conversation)

I'm Bunburyist* and aesthete, motion designer, illustrator and dancer, member of AEGEE (cool organisation, lots to find there) and hitchhiker.

If I can say at least 2-and-a-half word in language of a country I'm in, I almost never ask "Do you speak English?", and then find myself in funny situations:D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1) I want to try different new things;
2) I'm often afraid to miss smth interesting;
3) I extremely like travelling;
4) I'm greedy for meeting new interesting people;
5) Foreign languages is my passion:)

Interests

VIA EST VITA ("A road is a life" - I read it on a monument in Minsk and that's damn true). My crazy trips is sth that keeps me alive (Staying alive!.. Staying alive!.. *dancing with Jim Moriarty*).

De plus, I make animations in after effects and pics in illustrator, I love making fun on everything (and everyone), drawing absurd pics on computer, so if a new mem occures to my head - don't stop me noooow!

I love learning languages (currently I'm learning Italian, but when I hitchhike in Poland, for instance, I learn Polish on-the-go xD).

And I love good coffee (once I spontaneously made an espresso-tasting-walking-tour in Siracusa).
