Hi there! I’m Sasha. You can also call me Alex (short from Alexandra). I’ve lived in 6 cities in 3 countries. Now I live in Moscow, work as a teacher, do yoga in my free time and travel around Russia on holidays.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since covid times I’ve been travelling mostly across Russia and now I feel the crave not just to see new places, but to meet people of different cultures, who speak different language. I miss this whole atmosphere of couchsurfing, of kitchen talks, finding differences and similarities between our cultures. I have only warm memories of my hosts and I hope to share more great moments with people out there:)

Interests

I like to go to live music performances. It doesn't really matter what genre it is, watching people passionately playing their favorite music is always great. I’ve recently started doing yoga, so now I’m getting more interested to explore the connection between body and mind. Whole new world to me:)

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m currently into my millennial literature era:) so the last books I enjoyed were Beautiful world where are you by Sally Rooney, The Outrun by Amy Liptrot (now I’m dying to see Orkney Islands), Little Lives by Hanya Yanagihara. Generally I love biographies and not so much fantasy novels.
