Hello everyone! My name is Anya, I was born in a small town in Siberia, studied in the center of Russia, and worked for many years in Moscow.
I started to travel to other countries only 7 years ago and opened a wonderful world of different people and their traditions. If in my country there was an opportunity after graduating from college to have a free year to travel to know yourself, other people and choose the business of your life, people in Russia would smile more often, like me now :)

I like to walk a lot (10-30 km), explore the nature and customs of people, get acquainted with the customs and culture of new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

All my life I worked and had a small vacation to travel. Last year I finished my career as a hr-manager and started own free long journey through Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, Vetnam, South Korea, Mongolia, Kazahstan, Uzbekistan, Tadgikistan).
I have been traveling alone for several months in Asia, sometimes I spend the night outdoors, I want to find friends in new places, will now how they live, which is interesting.
