About Me

CURRENT MISSION

No hidden catch No strings attached

ABOUT ME

people who know me say " you're adaptive! "
i don't have big problems with people. and when i meet someone at first he/she generally thinks that i'm sympathetic, pleasent and have a sincere manner.
from my sight after references:P; i try to understand happiness and sorrow and i want to balance it. when i'm happy, i know that it is not a suprise. when i'm upset, i know that it is part of life. i try to live everything and experience and gain more and more. that's life!

PHILOSOPHY

if a person does not have something that is more important than his life, it means his life is not important, either.
and also smile, help, run, jump, sit, sleep, eat, see- don't look!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting when i'm available, surfing when i'm traveling, meeting when i'm in the mood for cheers...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

enough to know that i have a big family!

Interests

everything in life! i don't like to say this, that and that and limit myself. if my friends come to visit me i like cooking for them, in summers i love swimming in the sea.
i dance like i'm crazy when i go out at nights (not always:)) but i sometimes just want silence and read a book or watch a film.
tomorrow is another day maybe i want to ride a horse but i made it once in my life:/
