About Me

Good morning, world! I am Svieta from Tbilisi, Georgia. I've been always dreaming of travelling, and finally, a couple of years ago this dream has come true- I started backpacking, hitchhiking and exploring this wonderful crazy world!
I consider myself a lucky person, cuz even if I sometimes can't find inspiration, inspiration still finds me ^_^

I love the genuine idea of CS community- to share, learn, teach, respect, be open, kind and curious.
I met sooo many amazing people in CS, and 4 years ago I met my husband on this platform :) Now we are exploring the world together!

I also write about my trips on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucky__charlie_/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess it sounds trivial af, but I just genuinely love and get so inspired by our world and people of this world! I believe we all should share positivity and our experiences, and I believe sometimes a simple smile is enough to make someone's day :)

PHILOSOPHY

Always be kind, cuz everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ohh I have quite a lot of hobbies, simply because I'm curious about lots of stuff!

First of all I gotta mention my huge passion towards learning languages, solving different puzzles, playing ping-pong and table football. That's something that gives me a looot of happiness.

Generally I call myself a geek :) My big passion is chess and strategical games (HOMM3 is the best gave ever created!). If u wanna get rid of me for some time- just give me some logical puzzle or riddle- I can spend hours trying to solve it :D

I can't imagine my life without art. I believe I'm a creative person- at least I always try to have creative lessons with my students. I am a huge music lover. I play the piano and the guitar and I really want to learn to play ukulele. I can also rap, but everybody except my mom says I suck in it..

I'm into basically all kinds of music.. to name some of my favourite musicians, it's SURELY Pink Floyd, some Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals, Hurts, Dawid Podsiadlo.. and many, many others.. Ohh and I LOVE songs from Disney movies! :D :D

I can't really name my favourite movie cuz there are so many! But I gotta say I love Marvel movies, Tony Stark is my hero (Did I mention I'm a geek? :D ), and I'm very into sitcoms like Friends, How I met you mother, and so on...

My favourite books are sci-fi, with Ray Bradbury being my favourite writer. I'm telling you, this guy was a genius! Recently I opened for myself a whole new world of Witcher, and I think I'm becoming a big fan...

I also used to be into drawing comic books myself, but tbh I haven't done it for a while. Maybe, some day I'll come back to this hobby :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a rule, in every country I visit I ask local people to write for me on a piece of paper a phrase "Good morning, world! Life is beautiful!" in their own language :) I'm planning to have a huge collection!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm curious about almost everything, so I'd be glad to know more about smth you are passionate about :)
As a languages enthusiast, I can teach you how to learn languages easier...
Ooor I can teach you how to play chess...
Or table football...
Or ping pong...
Or how to play guitar and piano...
Or how to cook some Georgian food...
Or do some nice logical riddles...
Anyway I'll be glad to share anything from my experiences, fun and serious ones, stories, jokes, and of course I'd be happy to share a lot of knowledge about my dear Georgia, which is the most amazing place on the Earth for me :) Even though it's not so popular worldwide, it is super beautiful and it has ancient history, interesting traditions, awesome food and kind people with good sense of humor :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Probably you've heard about the famous Georgian hospitality, so indeed me and my husband try to make our guests (as well as hosts) feel comfortable and cozy :) And ofc we always try to share comfortable, positive and warm atmosphere ^_^
