Hello, beautiful people!

I`m Katya and I`m from the land of Polar night and aurora borealis, Murmansk region.

I`m in love with the region I live in, but very excited to discover the world below the Polar Circle and to meet interesting people all over the world )

I usually choose my next destination based on what my books drive me to. Some book by Coelho has led me to Ljubljana, Freud and Jung works have made me visit Vienna, the whole journey through Finland was dedicated to my favourite children`s author Tove Jansson ^^ The next journey I`ve planned is supposed to be to Portugal because I associate Lisbon with the cities from Alexander Grin`s books.

Unfortunately I live with my parents so I can`t host now, but I`ll be glad to see you in my house at the earliest convenience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People stories is a thing that create the atmosphere of the place. And Couchsurfing is a perfect instrument to touch the life of your destination`s inhabitants )
