About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become the best I can be - to explore my potential and help other people to do it with me

ABOUT ME

I'm a 34 year old girl who still feels that she is 23. I'm interested in my job - teaching and speaking, traveling, traveliving, lifestyle design, all kinds of dancing, meeting crazy people who think and live differently. I dream of having a lifestyle when I could balance all my material and spiritual aspects, when I could do only what I love to do, when I could love all I do.
There is a picture in my mind and I'm on my way to it.
Traveling is one of the most exciting things in my life. I did it a lot and always want more. But the more I travel the more I realize that just traveling and exploring the beauty of the world is not enough. I love to combine work, studying, meeting new people, nature and hobbies in one trip.
One more fact: I'm vegetarian)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a gift. And it's beautiful!
When I feel bad I remind myself of taking this life as a gift.
I can see, can hear and feel - it's a wonder!
Things come and go. The next lesson for me to learn is how to let them go with a light heart, not to depend on everything good or bad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in an appartment in Novosibirsk and can offer you a couch. I have a car so I can show you our city. Some years ago I worked as a tour guide in Altay mountains so if you are interested in travelling there I can help you with advice or find some useful people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted people a few times and loved it. My surfing experience is shorter. I began to do it this year in the USA. Now I'm sure that it's the best way to travel

Interests

I'm interested in different sorts of things: meeting new people, learning new things, training, presentation skills, debates, traveling, diving, snowboarding, dancing, meditation and many others. Most of all I like adventures and also like to invent them.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is the easiest way to get access to the desired state. So I listen the music according to my feelings and goals. It can be very different.
One of the books I like very much is Shantaram, about my beloved India.
