I am Eliza, pronounced as Eh-lee-za. I was born in Yakutsk, Siberia, but spent my adulthood in St. Petersburg. Now I reside in Hungary working as a mentor for children in an afterschool. I love art, photography, travelling, learning foreign languages, and meeting new people :)

P. S. Men, do better. Stop harassing solo female travelers. Don’t force them to be intimate with you, don’t touch them without their permission, don’t lie about your age/location/sleeping arrangements/marital status. And keep in mind, that this is NOT Tinder. Your awful behavior WILL lead to consequences, trust me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling around Europe is, perhaps, my main hobby, and after staying in dozens of hostels I decided to add a bit of razzle-dazzle in my trips by socializing through Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I was born in the coldest place in the world. Pretty ‘amazing’, huh?
- Moved 9000 km away from home at 18 completely on my own;
- Did zip lining in the jungle in Thailand when I was only 12 surrounded by spiders and snakes. Thanks, mom!
- Stood in the line for Beyoncé’s concert in Stockholm for 14 hours!
