I was born in Tashkent(Uzbekistan), immigrated to Russia at the age of 13, lived in Kazan and moved to Saint-Petersburg. I am studying Sociology there and working as the administrator in the best completely hand-made hostel.
All these facts made me see and admire the diversity of the world.
I love to meet people from all the world, listen to their stories and tell mine, to get friends, to change them and be changed by them.
I love the nature and the cities, cats and dogs, God and Physics, Russia and human rights and many-many things that people call opposites.
Love to study, to work, to dance, to sing , to cook, to eat, to drink, to travel. Love to love.
My name is Diana. Nice to meet you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love being a guest and receiving the guests.
Because I want to see not only landmarks and museums but also good people in the new country.
Because actually sometimes I travel with minimum money:) Like all the people here:)))
So I guess Couchsurfing is what I really need!
