CURRENT MISSION

..to entertain and be entertained..

ABOUT ME

about me? i havent finished learning about myself, so im not in the best position to tell you.

PHILOSOPHY

i think that best experiences in life happen by chance(luck). I cant take credit for my fortunes, but only for recognizing them when they cross my path.

i'm no good with words, just feelings.. so i'll have to steal a quote that captures ..
" To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. "

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i haven’t started yet. im still slowly learning about CS, getting familiarized with the website. Very soon i'd like to meet up with fellow CS' in the area to chat up and make connections. Hopefully, an opportunity to host somebody will soon follow. as a future host, i'd like to make sure I am offering surfers the best experience in town and contributing to their learning experience. no one ever says “ my trip was so amazing because i saw these great buildings" But, i often say "my trip was so amazing because i hung out with locals and made real connections with people". I'd like to see that kind of feed back on my profile one day..
Also, i'm interested in looking into some Off-Site Volunteer Opportunities once i get a little more sittuated with the site.

Music, Movies, and Books

i'm not very loyal when it comes to music. i fall in love with theme music to my trips and experiences. Punjabi music accompanied my trip around South India, tango was with me in Argentina...

Favorite book is 1984. (i'll be back for a better list next time)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"amazing" is relative. taking my mama with me to get my tattoo, that was amazing..

Teach, Learn, Share

its hard to say what you can offer to this world, and humbling.
For now, i'll just say that i speak fluent Russian and English and can help you into yoga pretzel posture.
