Hi, Everyone!
At first, thanks for reading my profile. I’m open-minded, engaged in life, adaptable, humorous, outgoing and adventurous. My husband and I live in Novosibirsk, the capital of Siberia. Many visitors spend here a day or two travelling to the Altay Mountains or Lake Baikal. But the city itself can offer amazing chances to have a holiday of lifetime. Should you be interested, don’t hesitate to contact me. All in all, it is a worthwhile adventure to spend holidays in Siberia as we have everything for every taste and pocket.
As for me, I work as an electrical engineer. My part-time job is an English teacher. This is what I’m really cut out for, so I’m eager to teach English overseas particularly in South-East Asia. Sounds like a challenging target, doesn’t it?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have you ever thought that Couchsurfing is like a box of chocolates? Really, you’ll never guess what it may hold for you. New friends, breathtaking stories, hidden sights, culinary delights or genuine hospitality, who knows? What else can a globetrotter dream about?
In a nutshell, Couchsurfing makes journeys easier and brings people together, so I joined the community to enrich my travelling experience and meet like-minded people.

Interests

Leisure time shouldn’t be a chance to veg out. Actually, some joyful hobbies can refresh people more than simply lying around and doing nothing. I am keen to share my favourite pastimes.
First of all, yoga is included in my daily routine because it builds my discipline and focus, improves my health and helps me to stay cool, calm and collected.
Next, it’s great to hang around with my friends and family. I always welcome opportunities to get to know a new person or discover the hidden treasures in the people I already know.
Working with my hands brings me needed fulfilment and satisfaction. I love gardening, cooking and crafting.
All in all, hobbies make my life more well-rounded, so I’m always ready to learn some new valuable skills.
