ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Alona and I am from Russia. Already 7 years I am living in Cyprus where I work as a lawyer for an investment company.
I am passionate about various cultures, travelling and foreign languages. My mother tongue is Russian but I am also fluent in English and can decently support conversation in Greek and Hebrew.
I also do like activities (like sport and adventures).
I appreciate honesty, open mind, creativity, optimism, amiability and nonstandard way of thinking and sometimes nonstandard behavior ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy and live in harmony with the other people and environment.
To search, to learn, to develop, to change myself and at the same time to keep balance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to host before and liked my experience very much. Unfortunately currently I am busy with my work schedule and cannot host anymore. However I am ready to meet up or give advice about Cyprus.
