I adore foreign languages and their cultures. My life has never been brighter than when I am on travel. At home I as well challenge myself constantly with new languages, language teaching and daily practice.
I practice ashtanga yoga and my husband is a crossfit athlete (I am amateur =D).
We used to ride bicycles on pro level, but now you can only meet them hanging on the wall. Sad story, but a true one.

Currently I work in St.Petersburg as a Customer Success Manager in one private IT company, as well I teach foreing languages and study psychology as an additional Masters Program.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that best things in the world are free, since they are experiences. I have faced many times situations in my travels when hotels cost too much and I know that there is someone lonely (or almost) sitting in their kitchen, potentially keen on interactions.
The same here at home. We have a 2-room flat, and this extra space can be beneficial for somebody.
We help somebody here, and then - when needed and hopefully - we will be helped too.
With CS I'd like this circle of mutual free assistance work and move faster :-)
