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

I love the idea of couchserf. Not only due to money (alrhough most of teachers in different countries have a modast solary), but first of all due to 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 i am here :)

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 amd travel experience :) 1 of my rule is to be honest with my hosts, so i try not only to take, but to give. That's why i try to take some products with me, some presents + I realized, that i like to somewhere to eat with host, (s)he talks me about local traditions of food, but i pay for it. But! I try to eat not too late, just for good figure :)))
