Hello! I’m Dasha!

Wanderlust, writer, copywriter.
Art lover, psychologist and fashionista :)
I’m into fashion and Dostoevsky.
I travel non-stop, mostly spontaneous.

UPD Nowadays I split my time between Tel Aviv and Moscow like 50/50 and I am Russian Israeli or Israeli Russian :)

Usually I don’t stay at one place longer than for three weeks, but basically I’m based in Moscow and London and consider these two cities as my home places.

I’ve been to more than 45 countries already.

I’m writing a book about my travels.

My first novel was published three months ago and I’m working with the second right now :)

MY CONCEPT OF CS
My own concept about CS became that I don't jump from one host to another for 1-2 days.
If I send request it is because I really liked your profile, we can exchange social media, whats app and talk.
My request can be also sometimes for a week.
I’m extremely respectful, super clean and homy and I definitely like to spend time together, but very independent at the same time, so you don’t have a feeling like you left a kid at your place :) I can go out in the morning and come back late evening because I spend all day in the city (or at the beach).
Most of my CS hosts became my very good friends. And I’m so happy, that CS gives us a chance to know each other.

MY HOME IN MOSCOW
Since we get to know each other you can count with me in Moscow.
At the moment I don't host there as just bought new flat and it's under construction. But in a few months I will be able to host my CS friends. I use to host before just leaving the keys from my previous apartment while I was in London. So I trust people and people trust me :)

ABOUT ME: funny and openminded, half-British / half Russian sense of humor (which means dry and ironic, but always incredibly smart:)
I work as freelancer and can work from everywhere. That’s why my work permits me travel all the time and that’s why you’ll meet me one day :)

My passions:
- Nature (if you’re based at the coast and happen to be so kind to host me - find me anytime next to the ocean)
- Architecture (adore the cities with “backgrounds”)
- Arts (sometimes I even work with my laptop in the galleries)
- Literature and psychology
- Theater, opera, ballet
- Socializing: from surfers beach bars to sophisticated membership clubs

So i will be glad to meet you, your friends and share our cultures and experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and I believe, that we always meet for a reason.
