Hello! My name is Irina and I am a travelholic.
All the world is interesting for me but the real beauty is there where there are no touristic crowds. They spoil everything :(

Most of all I prefer to combine leisure on the sea shore with walks around small European cities. I adore nature, love animals with all the power of my heart and, may be one day I will move to the forest to live in a hut and eat berries :D

I also prefer healthy way of life, do not smoke or drink alcohol, keen on sports and adore cooking different tasty healthy dishes or cakes ^_^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well...while I am young and do not have children or mortgages I try to travel once I have a couple of free days!

Before I used Airbnb in order to find a place to stay and people to know and show me the country, but now I decided to try a more authentic way to look into a culture of different places. I am very communicative and open to share stories and country traditions, always happy to cook dinner together and exchange languages :)

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Always ready to chat about my native Russia and other countries which I visited, as well as learn some new!
I also have a language teaching experience so I can teach you some Russian words like "okroshka", "borsch", "medved" and any other :) It is usually funny to hear how strangers pronounce Russian words, love it! :D
