ABOUT ME

Im Dina...I was born in Uzbekistan, after I graduated high school, I moved to Moscow to go to law University.
For the moment I complete my education , by studying how to manage humanitarian crises and reduce risk! After graduation I hope to go to developing countries and start my career there!

I was living and working as a lifeguard for Red Cross in New York for 4 monthes...Great experience!

As my parents live in Uzbekistan I spend my hollidays with them.If I have time and some money I travel. I think travelling and education are one of the most great things to spend your money ;)

As for my personality , I prefer other talks about me.
I hope my hosts, and my friends in CS community will make reference so you ll know me.

PHILOSOPHY

keep it smile
never give up
before change the world change yourself first
whatever happens it happens
be optimistic
and...
life is beautiful!!!! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

with open heart :)
If I host somebody I like to spend my time with this person, to talk to him, cook together...

Unfortunately , for the moment I can offer just a ''coffee or a drink '' option as Im living in a students residence. But as soon as I have another opprotunity to host somebody Ill do it with a great pleasure!!! ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Im a beginner in CS though I ve some good experience :

First time , I was a host in Uzbekistan. I couchserfed a young guy from Spain. He stayed in my house for 9 days! This experience was innovative and interesting as for me so for my family.We travelled together through the country, and than we went together to California one year later. We are still friends, even if sometimes we have some different views on life :) isnt it amazing?

Another story I like is when I was hosted in Montpellier (France) by Teo...it was fabulous!!! we were 4 couchsurfers in his house :) He teached us how to play drums , so we made a small concert (poor neighbours;), than he cooked for us, he went with us to flea market and at the last day he told us fotunes by taro cards (I hope its true ;)
and discussions we had ... Ill never forget ;)
