Since April 2023 I’ve cycled more than 25 000 km from Vladikavkaz (Russia) to Japan through 9 countries, where I took a plane to Mexico to continue my trip cycling south to Chile. An architect with a stable life in the past, I decided to become a traveler without a final destination but fulfilling all my childhood dreams.

p.s. All this time we cycled together with my boyfriend Felipe using his couchsurfing profile as well, so please check his recent references if you want, here’s the link:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that Couchsurfing is a unique opportunity to get closer to people all around the world, to truly explore and, in the end, to better understand each other with all our similarities and differences.

Interests

I love dancing, singing, nature and sports like skydiving and snowboarding. And I love food, both cooking and eating haha. Recently I got excited about traveling the would by bicycle so good bike shops or mechanics are also my interest :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to Stromae and Bruno Mars, the rest is changing all the time depending on my mood (deep house, jazz, hip hop, or whatever).
As for books, “Le Petit Prince” by Antoine De Saint Exupéry is still on the top of my list. In general, I read the world classic mostly or psychology books.
I’m not a huge fan of cinematography, but I can enjoy a nice movie. I prefer some cheerful and optimistic comedy-dramas though like “Intouchable”, “Julie & Julia”, or “The Hundred-Foot Journey”.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was a volunteer at a camp for children who lived through cancer.

Teach, Learn, Share

During my current trip I learnt a lot about traveling on a very tight budget and in extreme conditions, basically surviving sometimes. I can share some knowledge about dumpster diving and “figuring things out”.
Also, I’m curious about food traditions and trying to collect some little cooking secrets. I am not a very experienced cook, but would be nice to cook something together :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am going to respect the rules of your house and try to keep the balance between free and shared time. I have a lot of stories to tell, but I am also a good listener ;) going out together or simply talking in the kitchen - all works for me.
