About Me

About me

Just a common girl with lots of stories to tell; neat, discreet, respect personal space. I love mountains, fooling around the world and meeting weird/funny people

Philosophy

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Spending time with local people is the most important part of traveling and exploring new places. It's a pity that I didn't know about CS some time ago, but I always tried to communicate with locals as much as possible (hitchhiking is also a good way). So, now I can say that I hate hotels/hostels, I feel boring spending time there

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've crossed Russia from Sakhalin to the Black Sea, alone, all by hitchhiking. Also I've crossed all South America from the Caribbean Sea to Ushuaia.
I drank coffee in the crater of an active volcano in Kamchatka. I drank vine on the top of the ghost-town in Turkey under the clear night sky full of stars. I crossed night pampa full of pumas in Chile where I've met the UFO
