About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and cultures as much as I can

ABOUT ME

After graduation from University in Russia (2013), I moved to Dublin, Ireland to continue my study there and discover a totally amazing, new culture. Dublin is such a melting pot, I met new people from all around the world almost every day and I loved it! Over the following years, I'd got a chance to visit Morocco, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, South America, China. At the moment I live in New Zealand where I graduated last year and now work as an office administrator. I am totally in love with this country, it's incredibly beautiful.

PHILOSOPHY

The future is limited by our ability to dream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I live in Christchurch, New Zealand where I work and enjoy the beautiful country. My partner and I rent an apartment not far from the city centre, which has only one bedroom and quite a small living room. I'm not sure if its enough to offer as a place to stay yet. I'm happy to meet up and explore New Zealand together :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been very lucky to experience Couchsurfing in 2012/2013 while traveling across the USA and South America in 2016. Since that time, I still keep in touch with most of my hosts and remember those trips as the most breathtaking ones! Later on, in Ireland, I attended a few CS met ups, and it was great too.

Interests

TRAVELING! Travelling on my own gave me wat more understanding of the world that 4 years in Uni (it's not about knowledge, but experience if you know what I mean)

Also, I am in love with photography, camping, all kind of sports (especially winter ones), keeping fit, watching sunsets, enjoying classic movies, RIDING HORSES. Ice cream/ chocolate ALWAYS ;)

Teach: I might teach you a bit of cooking Russian traditional food, some yoga

Share: emotions and feelings of being in a new place
