Ciao everyone! My name is Alina, I am from Russia (Moscow).
I love traveling as much as I love eating cookies and french fries after 12 p.m. (or even more if it is possible).

Born in a small town of Magnitogorsk I moved to Moscow several years ago in order to study at MGIMO, and that was when my life started: I began going to rock concerts (Placebo, Breaking Benjamin, P!ATD, Hurts, the Kooks) and discovered my true passion - traveling.

Since then I've been to 16 countries and even spent half a year in Italy (Macerata, Marche region), where I fell in love... with pizza, pasta and "caffè sporco con pistacchio".
My favorite cities so far are Venice, Bologna and Verona.

Why do I like traveling so much? Despite being able to see new places and post cute pictures on Instagram, you can meet absolutely wonderful people all around the world, find your soulmates or simply discover something new about the world you live in. I am always opened to adventures, and adventures don't hesitate to happen to me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once me and my friends got lost on the Gozzo island (Malta) because of the storm and had to spend a night sleeping on the benches of the ferry station. We still blame goddess Calipso for this, because she had her eyes on our handsome male friend and wanted to capture him in her cave (as she did to Odysseus).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can always share a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) and a bunch of stories about my crazy trips.
Besides, I am a good listener, so I can work as your personal psychologist :)
