Hi everybody, welcome in Moscow !

I'm married with Denis. We have a cat, Liza, so if you have any allergy, maybe our house is not the good place to stay.

I plan to spend this year in Moscow and offer my room to guests. I will be happy to go with you on a walk around Moscow and introduce you to Russian culture. https://annapolani.com/moscow-travel

PLEASE READ BEFORE LEAVING A REQUEST FOR ACCOMMODATION:
We have a studio apartment near the Kotelniki metro station (South-East of Moscow). We are ready to provide our accommodation ONLY for 1-2 nights. We live in a separate apartment in the neighboring house.

Important: if you stay with us, please keep the space clean. And quiet! The walls in the house are thin, please do not make noise in the evenings. No parties, please! )

👋 About us:
I'm an artist. Since 2018, I have been creating works on the topic of astrophysics and space. I paint in oils, experiment with AI and augmented reality.
The main message of my work: we all came from star dust and will ultimately turn into it. All people are united, regardless of political, geographical and religious differences. I'm interested in exploring different cultures, meeting people and bringing that experience into my art.

I receive guests at my home and travel with my husband. His name is Denis, he can be seen in photos in albums. He is a programmer. We have the same interests and hobbies. I'm 33, he's 36.

We also have a small business in Russia - the production of home decor from plaster and concrete.

We're very verbose in Russian (obviously), our English vocabulary is not that rich and sometimes it is difficult for me to explain and tell something in an interesting way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately, we haven't traveled that much yet. But with recent trips, we realized how interested we're in studying new cultures and getting to know them through communication with people. Therefore, we will always prefer exploring a new country through the locals.

At the moment our permanent place of residence is Russia. This is where we was born and currently live. We will be glad to host tourists.
Please note that I am married. And we receive guests and communicate with guests together with my husband.
