Hey there! I'm Ana, a 25-year-old traveler from Russia currently living in Seoul, South Korea.

Over the past few years, I've been fortunate enough to travel the world and live in different countries. While recent circumstances have limited my travel opportunities, my nomadic soul is eagerly craving new adventures.

Here are a few things to know about me:

Solo-traveling is my passion! I believe it's the ultimate way to step out of your comfort zone, forge new friendships, and discover amazing places. I consider myself open-minded, laid-back, polite, responsible, and conflict-free. Drama? Not my thing.

I find joy in various outdoor activities, binge-watching sitcoms on Netflix, staying active, and cooking. Nature and animals hold a special place in my heart, and I'm committed to living a sustainable, cruelty-free life while promoting a healthy planet. But don't worry, I'm not a buzzkill! I also love going out and enjoying a good party.

I'm a native Russian speaker, fluent in English, and I can communicate in basic Korean.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer indie rock, but I enjoy different types of music. And my guilty pleasure is K-pop! 😅

Some of my favorite books are "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, "A Hero of Our Time" by Lermontov, and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. As for movies, I absolutely love "Dead Poets Society," "Requiem for a Dream," "Catch Me If You Can," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and "The Breakfast Club." When it comes to TV shows, I'm obsessed with sitcoms like "Friends," "How I Met Your Mother," "The Big Bang Theory," and more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I followed my heart, dropped out of university, and decided to learn English in order to be able to see the entire beautiful world, meet lifelong friends, and have unforgettable experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to cook some delicious traditional Russian food for you, help with chores, and simply be a good friend and provide enjoyable company. 😄
