I was born in the most northeast of Russia in Chukotka in the village Lavrentiya. This is a small village, where once, even in the times of the USSR, a polar bear even came in. It was later given to the Moscow Zoo. There are no trees around, but there are walruses and northern lights. And in a very short summer, the hills are covered with flowers, then a lot of mushrooms and berries grow, my lover was Empetrum. When I was 8 years old we moved to Primorsky Krai, this is the southeast of Russia, it was warm, there were grapes and watermelons, but the city was too small, so we did not stay there for a long time. After 2 years we moved to Khabarovsk. This city is 500 000 people, one of the largest in the east of Russia. Here I have been living for 20 years. Now I live here with my husband, our dog dachshund, white cat (boy) and black cat (girl).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to try new food, I love old architecture and parks. I like to ride a bicycle and take part in various activities with pleasure. I like to visit new places and settle with different people. For me, acquaintance with a new country is primarily local food, architecture and people with their own customs and a different view of the world.
