About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live :)

ABOUT ME

I really like travelling - both inside me (during yoga, authentic movement and contact impro) and outside also. All Earth is for us, for me, so I simply love my home Earth, learn it, its people and peoples, cultures, nature, I simply live and joy the life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our home is open again after intensive travelling!

We live stably enough, having jobs and intensive schedule. But we both (husband and me, and my son) adore to travel and to learn more. Most valuable in couchselr for me is the communication, real opportunity to learn, to participate in real life of people in other countries, to have warm human conversations with them, may be to have fun, to go somewhere, to see what they love and dislike, what and how they eat, so it is the great opportunity to look deeper both on the another culture, but at the same time to look a fresh eye on myself -what I am, what i like and dislike and why, what I can emprove or develop in myself :) no one book or other's blog in internet can not exchange this live experience. That's why we host people,
When I am the guest, the velue is the same.
And what is common in both cases (when I am host or guest) - I am busy during the day, so the time for communication is mostly morning hour, usually breakfast or evening one. I try to go to sleep not later then 10 pm, so, please arrive before 9 pm :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all myself :) people say, that I am warm and attentive, suppose it is true :) + I know a lot :) I have a wide life and travel experience :). 1 of my rule is to be honest with my guests and hosts, so I try both to give and to take. That's why my rule (both as a host and for my guests) is to come with some food at least for the eater oneself, as dietary prescriptions can differ
