My name is Irina.
How can I describe myself? I am quite independent, active, open minded and optimostic person.

I'm fond of travelling: I try to use every possibility for travelling - vacation at home is not vacation. Im curious person and very communicative therefore I have friends in many countries.

I love to meet new people, travelling for me is a good way to broaden cultural horizons, to make a world a little bit closer.
I love to walk in new cities, to discover its interesting and secret places, architecture, nature, to know local traditions and culture.
I love good food and wine (but beer is also fine 😎), i like cooking and i love to try the dishes of local cuisine. The local food is one of the ways to know better the traditions and culture of country.
Also i'm fond of photography and my lovely big camera is almost always with me! :-)

I love sociable, friendly, sincere, open-minded people with good sense of humour and I hope to meet new friends here.
When I have a time i can host guest in my place, i love long conversations with wine or beer, laughing, jokes and travel-stories.

IMPORTANT INFO: I won't accept your the friends request if I don't know you personally or at least I don't have common interests. Please, don't send me a request without the covering message.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like an idea of Couchsurfing, it is a great way to open world, to meet new friends, who share common interests.
Besides that is a good way to know typical local life inside and the best way to get new experience about country. When I host my guests I try to make their as comfortable as possible, i can share my food, sometimes wine or beer and if i have free time I can show Moscow which I love so much. I can give you the best tips "where, how and how many".
I want you to get fine impressions about my country and my city and i will try to help you in getting it.

Music, Movies, and Books

My preferences in music depend on my mood: metal , pop- and classic music, but the main, this music has to touch my soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess I did many different interesting things in my life, they touched my heart that moment but every next new experience cleaned these impressions for new one.

My last biggest impression was a trip to Japan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm living in a little city Balashikha near Moscow, but most of time I spend in Moscow because I am working here. I love Moscow and I can show my favourite places here or advise you different museums, exhibitions and other interesting attractions and places from cultural placed to craft beer pubs. Also i can recommend you cafes or restaurants with typical cuisin of Russian, Ukrainian or Georgian dishes or popular craft beer pubs, if you will be my guest I can cook something typical Russian for you.
