I signed up to Couchsurfing a while ago and totally forgot I had it. Then recently met some people whilst travelling in Budapest who were raving on about it and decided to finally sort my profile out!

I'm originally Russian/Ukrainian but have lived in London the past 22 years. Travelling has always been a big part of my life (as well as my family's) but I've only recently started travelling by myself a couple of years ago. I was hooked from the first time I went to America by myself as it's such a different experience! It's definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me gain confidence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is such a great idea and such a welcoming community! And I love meeting new people and experiencing and learning about new cultures. This seems like the perfect place to do that.
