In September 2017 I moved from Moscow to Auckland with my partner and keep enjoying amazing New Zealand so far. I walk a lot, meet new people, take pictures and discover as much as I can.

I have been always combined creative and digital fields in my work - that's a way of keeping life balance for me. For 2,5 years I was working as web administrator and e-learning specialist in Moscow and was freelance photographer and florist at the same time. Here in Auckland I started with floristry and brought my passion to nature into floral design.

I can't call my adaptation here smooth. In spite of having big travel experience and a long period of living in another country I still feel it quite challenging to communicate with locals and travelers, so I'm on the way of overcoming my fears and anxiety.

I'm looking for friends and artistic collaborations. I also would be happy to help someone to bring good ideas into life and contribute to creating beautiful projects. Feel free to check my website: thesplashes.tilda.ws just in case we may have common tastes.

I permanently interested in improving my language and communicational skills, so I would be glad to meet open-minded and patient people to practice English beyond small talk. It can be even fun if you able to speak not too fast :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm again curious about it!
CS helped me several times to find nice people in unknown places and I still believe in its magic.
