ABOUT ME

I am a Russian girl born in the extreme North. despite the severe weather conditions and very cold winters I managed to stay friendly, sociable and communicative.
I lived several years in Germany (Berlin, Stuttgart, Freiburg) and now I'm living on the Caribbean coast of Colombia in the city called Barranquilla. I am a Germán teacher currently working at the German School.
I love traveling and after a 3-year break I'm starting to do it again and I try to use every free moment I have to do it.

PHILOSOPHY

Accept people as they are , be positive and optimistic and never give up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a shared apartment with 2 other people. We are all open-minded, but in the issue of hosting i have to be respectful of their wishes as well.
I have surfed a lot and it was always a wonderful experience which I always prefer to staying in hotels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in December 2009 with Christopher Mackin in Tallin (Estonia). there were other surfers at his place as well and we has amazing time partying together. Since then I have surfed many couches in different countries and places and hosted wonderful people.

Interests

I have too many interests and too little free time... but when I have some, I like to do sports: I go to a fitness studio almost every day, I love playing tennis and cycling. I try to read as much as I can and when I can't - I listen to audiobooks.
I love salsa, bachata, merengue and kizomba, although now I'm a little bit out of practice.
