CURRENT MISSION

become a yoga teacher one day

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, communicative person. Love outdoor sports, good vegetarian food, nice chats to nice people. Sometimes geeky, sometimes girly.

After 23 years spent in Russia, I moved to Switzerland to pursue my studies...and to discover the mountains! I envy all the people who started skiing at the same age as walking :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself - George Bernard Shaw.

I try to accept people the way they simply are (not really easy, heh). But if you can actually do it, so many things become sooo much easier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I tried couchsurfing in Holland and India and enjoyed it a lot. Back home, I host people whenever I have time.

Update 2015: Now that I am no longer a student, I find it challenging to host people. I work long hours and have less flexibility. Nevertheless, shoot me a message and we can always see what can be done.

Interests

Iyengar yoga, playing in the mountains. Being outside and enjoying it. Recently tried out cycling and found it extremely cool. Also like hanging out with people you're comfortable with, doesn't really matter what you do.
