About Me

Early in 2017 I moved from Moscow to Berlin with my husband. We're an IT family - I'm a UX designer and he's a programmer. We're usually a bit quiet and introvert but once we know someone well enough we can be a great company. My husband is also a musician, he's an amazing drummer. I'm more talented in small lectures about human psychology or perception.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of Couchsurfing. It gives you not only a free host, which is important if you want to explore a big world with little money, but also a friend in a foreign city. It also helps to learn about people and cultures you might never meet without Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Norway on a solo bike trip. Made 500 km, slept in a public park, trailer village, fancy farm, mountain pass and a couple of couchsurfers' places.

I also happen to sleep hugging a darbuka (an ethnic drum) for two weeks.

Teach, Learn, Share
