Hi! My name is Mari, I am from Armenia originally and I've been living in Italy since 2013. I also lived in the Netherlands for a short period (6 months) and I grew up in Russia, Saint Petersburg.
I'm here to meet locals as I thing this is the best way to know the place I'm going and of course I love meeting intersting people. I think that the most open-minded and curios people are the ones who offer their homes to other, this is something that the world misses now - generous people :)

PHILOSOPHY

the life is too short to live in a way you don't like

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people in the place I'm visiting

Interests

• literature
• reading

• economics

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz, blues, House, pop... Just a music with quality and I'm happy :) I went to school in Russia, so I'm grown up with Russian classics and live to read the-Dostoevskij, Bunin, Bulgakov are my favourites. Recently discovered to like also non-fiction literature; and since I live now in Italy I try to read more in Italian on order to improve it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to improve my professional knowledge, to read, to hear histories from people around the world about their countries and experiences they had, to share different views. I love listening to people :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm easy-going person, I'd like to know locals and to share nice moments together, to tell stories and to listen to other people. I belive this is a good way to grow personally and to become a bit more open-minded.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Armenia, Italy, Netherlands, Russian Federation
