About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be in a peace with myself at any present moment

ABOUT ME

I'm making my way to live in a harmony with this big world around, to understand its unity and diversity. I'm altruist and activist, following my inspiration, learning to see invisible, believing in positive intention of Creator and eternity of soul.

I'm vegetarian, trying to keep healthy way of life, eat natural / bio products, practice meditation... I say "trying" cause it seems to be difficult in our chaotic daylife. I don't drink vodka, even if it too strange for russian.

Ones I quitted stressful office work in Moscow in exchange for volunteering service and SUN in Spain. And this really me - the opposite of mercantile spirit.

PHILOSOPHY

How can I help?

"All you need is LOVE" (The Beatles)

"Voici mon secret. Il est tres simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (Le petit prince)

"God, please, give me the courage to change what I can't accept; the patience to accept all, i can't change and, please, give me the wisdom to distinguish one from another"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I’m kind of being informal ambassador of CS and international volunteering, always sharing this great idea with everybody I meet. I do CS because it fits perfectly to my life philosophy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS experince is quite big already. I guess I have been carring CS spirit even before I found out about it existence :)

Interests

Environment, ecology, zero waste, sustainable lifestyle, recycling, nature, fresh air, sun and sea, mountains, beauty, animals and birds, natural home made cosmetics, herbal teas...
Adore traveling! I agree with the French preverb "Les voyages forment les jeunesse". And people are the most important aspect of a great travel adventure.
I feel passionate about languages, cultural diversity, history, psycology. To all kind of amusement I prefer a heart-to-heart talk with someone. I'm for real human connection, sick of TV+hollywoodish empty shell" lifestyle. Should we be more selective on what we spend our time and energy ?
