Hi! My name is Yulya, but my friends call me Belka. It means "squirell" in russian (I get used to this nickname so much, that sometimes don't understand, when someone's calling me Yulya. I'm not a usual russian girl - i don't cook borshch everyday. But I'm a real chatterbox (reffering to my friends' opinion). I have a lot of crazy stories of my life :) I'm keen on unusual things. I really love unhackneyed opinions and unusual people. I can be easily involved into different activities. I'm open to this world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm fond of independent travelling and I don't wanna depend on guides, tourist agencies et cetera. That's why I choose couchsurfing. Of course, I like sharing experience and communicating with people all around the globe.
