About Me

A simple girl looking for something unique in ordinary things - like a child who wants to laugh and cry sincerely and to understand how the world really works.
I always want everything and everywhere - all at once!!!But now I’m trying to focus on the main thing, I am trying to look at the world through different prisms (through psychology, physics, literature, nature and so on) and find new ones. I’m trying to live without judgment since there is no single opinion/side, there is only your path that you follow.
Also it’s true that "Nothing is as good as you can imagine it. No one is as beautiful as it is in your head. Nothing is as exciting as your fantasy."
At the same time I always remember one significant saying:
"...dream—and not make dreams your master;
think—and not make thoughts your aim ".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great opportunity to meet interesting people and experience something authentic, listen to unforgettable stories and share happy moments. And of course learning about another culture and realizing how other people live, you understand for yourself that you can live differently.

Interests

I'm not very good at something special, but i'm interested in everything. I'm fond of taking photos of people's emotional moments.
Nature.. Stars, sunset, sunrise, rainbow! It's so simple but sooo incredible! For me as a very anxious and active person It gives freedom, sense of life and calmness. "The freedom and simple beauty is just too good to pass up..."

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big music fan! Turkish modern post-punk or psychedelic rock, Belarusian songs in electronic processing, French psych-punk rock, shoegaze(DIIV, Slowdive) or John Maus with his "vintage synthesizer sounds and Medieval church modes" or something calm like Brian Eno. LOVE IT! Also I'm an indie-lover : Alt-j, The Killers, 1975, Foals.

For some time I was fascinated by books on Jungian psychology, now I’m more into Belarusian literature and children's stories. Also I'm a Potterman, I've reread Harry Potter many times but I have never considered it a fairytale :)

I like movies which make me rethink my vision of life, films about reincarnation or just memorable ones : Wild, Into the wild, Requiem for a Dream, Cloud Atlas, I Origins, Vavilon, American History X, Pan's Labyrinth, Mood Indigo, Amelie. My guilty pleasure is british series like Fleabag and This Is Going to Hurt.
My another kind of pleasure is animated films like Song of the Sea, The Secret of Kells, BoJack Horseman :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
