Hello!

My name is Aleksandra or Sasha for short.
I am originally from Siberia, but if you ask me where I live, I will answer that the whole world is my home.

I’m working at the United Nations as a consultant.

I explore not only my home, but also myself, my place in this world and my destiny. So far, it's working out well.

All I have is my backpack, my suitcase, good knowledge, a purpose in life, a little courage, my family's tremendous support and the path I'm on.

I wish peace to everyone who reads this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm from a small town in the south of Siberia and I make my own way in life.

I have a goal - I want to work for the UN.
Now I am doing an internship at the UN and living in Geneva.

I adore mountains, hiking, camping, travelling, wild nature, exploring new places, and going somewhere without mobile service for the whole weekend :)

Of course, I am very open to meeting new people and always happy to keep in touch.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, dancing and do everything listening to something. I am tolerant of any kind of music. I really love rock, jazz, some rap and under the songs of the following foreign (for me) bands, I’m ready to literally die:

Scorpions (Wind of Change is my love forever and ever)
U2
INXS
a-ha
Cigarettes After Sex
System of a Down
Metallica
Chris Rea
Daughter
Linkin Park
The Cranberries
Def Leppard
Placebo
Depeche Mode
Three Days Grace
Nirvana
Muse
David Bowie

For classic, for me Tiersen, Bach, Vivaldi, Einaudi is a must-have.

Books is a secret personal thing :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have passed 30 kilometres of hiking per day in Russia and never get tired

Teach, Learn, Share

Never teach anyone anything if you were not asked to.
Always learn something if you feel a spark of interest inside.
Share ideas, values and knowledge which keeps light in you even if everything is in darkness.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The story of a little cheerful Siberian woman who travelled around the world, achieving her goal.

Kidding! We will communicate, share travel and life experiences, learn languages together, hang out. If you are lucky, I'll bring something small from Russia :)

Little big remark! Couchsurfing is not Tinder.
