Hello, travelers! 🙋‍♀️ 🌸

My name is Khristina. I'm from Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), which is the largest federal subject of Russia located in the north-eastern part of Siberia, also known as the coldest place in the world. My ethnicity is called Sakha and we have our own language (belonging to the Turkic-speaking family). Currently exploring the world with my partner Julian (he is from Northern Italy) 🗺🧳.

I am a philologist by training, worked in the media for 5 years, now I am a freelancer.

I was planning a trip to Europe and the U.S., but unfortunately Covid19 happened. I hope everything will be settled soon and it will be easy for Russians (you know why) to travel and I will be able to fulfill my big little dream of traveling all around the world ✨🌏.

I love TRAVELing, discovering new things, getting acquainted with different cultures, traditions, everyday life of different nations and their language.
I enjoy life, people, friendships, laughter, stories, music, food and good times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet wonderful people all around the world and make friends. Exchange experiences and knowledge, to create good memories.✨💚

Music, Movies, and Books

Меломан, киноман, книжный червь:D
🎭 I love ART in all its forms💫.
🎼I into MUSIC. Music occupies a large part of my soul. I really love singing ❤️🎤🎶✨.
🎬 I like to watch MOVIES. Especially movies that have deep meaning, that make you think and feel. Well, in childhood I dreamed of becoming an actress or director. Because I was so inquisitive and I had so many ideas for who I'd like to become in the future... a teacher, a doctor, a gymnast, a ninja, a conductor in an orchestra, even a vampire or an elf😂… And one day it dawned on me that I could be whoever I wanted to be in movies lol
📚I love BOOKS. I read books of different genres. But most of all I prefer to read dramatic, psychological, cognitive books. Also fantasy, especially Tolkien, J.Rolling, G.Martin.
♟Also I love playing CHESS)) and 🎮 VIDEOGAMES. Now I'm playing Tears of the kingdom💧. I'm a fan of BOTW✨

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

✨Together with my friends, I traveled through Central Asia with the "100 Days Footprintless" expedition in 2016. Once we had an opportunity to live with lamas (monks) in a buddhist temple))
✨I travelled solo through Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan for about five months. And I’ve climbed mountains with an altitude of 4000 meters.
✨ And now it's going to be two years since I've been travelling around Asia. This is my longest journey

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some words and phrases in Sakha or Russian languages. We can practice English together (If you're studying like I am).

Share some travel stories and interesting stories from my homeland. I can tell about culture, tradition, folklore of sakha people. And many other things depending on your interests.
