I'm travel-addicted mum of two little princesses and the wife of Icelandic gingerhead pianist, convinced that the best way to explore the world is a traveling. When I was a little girl, my grandma worked in the shipping company and I spent part of my school time traveling with her around the European seas.
I started to travel with my own daughters when they both were about 4 months. The 1st trip of my younger daughter was the voyage to Mexico. Now she's 8 and she lives her life always waiting for the next trip :) In August 2017 we moved to Iceland and now living in Reykjavík with my Icelandic husband.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I'm citizen of the world and I like to communicate with people from another countries. I'm sure that there is no guidebook, that can tell you about visiting place better than the local people.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Drove almost 3000 km in Iceland in one week and fell in love with this country.
Visited Iceland for the second time to paticipate in Reykjavik marathon, to get to the Middle of Nowhere, to swim in the Hella lake and to meet my icelandic love. After the 3rd travel to Iceland I moved here and married my boyfriend. Since that time we are living together in Reykjavík.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I'm glad to share my experience of travelling with kids
I can teach you how to cook traditional Russian dishes (and not only Russian)
I can tell you a lot about Iceland, Icelandic traditions, Icelandic folk and history.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I can share my travel stories and always glad to cook the vegetarian (and pescetarian) dishes from all over the world and, of course, Russian borsch :)
