I'm a truly positive girl with a permanent smile on my face. With a ''la vie en rose'' type of smile... But not just smiling, we can discuss very serious topics together! :)
Dynamic, adventurous and open to new meetings, friends, cultures and countries!

I want to discover this world as much as possible ... "Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"

This November me and my husband are moving to Belgium from Russia. We visited many countries in Europe, but never been in Belgium, so fortune is playing with us! Will be glad to explore this country, culture and Belgian style of life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The start of my Couchsurfing adventure was at the end of 2016. After 1 year of studies in France we returned home in Russia by car - 7000 km and 8 super cool stays with Couchsurfing guys!
In summer 2017 we continued Couchsurfing tradition and during our road trip across Europe met 17 incredible CS-ers and 17 more friends!
Couchsurfing is the coolest experience ever. It's a great way to find new friends! With many people we're keeping in touch, communicating through Skype and even they came to visit us in Russia!

Unfortunately, I haven't many references as a host...People don't come often to visit our region - South Ural of Russia.
So November 2018 we're moving to Belgium, hope to find there a great house, where we can invite the travelers! Hope as well to find through Couchsurfing new friends among locals!

Interests

As I am moving to Belgium, I quitted my current job as a Project Manager in Oil and Gas, and would like to explore the art of photography! I was always interested in it and understood that I should start now, if not, then when?

Sport is a life, so mountain skiing in winter, tennis in summer, and swimming breaks between.

I`m fond of travelling, discovering, exploring, collecting moments and emotions of new places, cultures and people !

Wine...I`m not alcoholic, but trully believe that "In Vino Veritas" :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven`t done something really exceptional, but maybe for understanding my character : in the august 2016 I did with my boyfriend a car trip from Ural (middle of Russia) to Paris : 5200 km, 6 days.

Then in November 2016 we made a trip back from France to the middle of Russia - already in 1 month, exploring Europe.

Summer 2017 we went (of course!!!) by car from Russia to Portugal and back, were married near Atlantic ocean and shared all of our best emotions from Pre-Honeymoon and Honeymoon with Couchsurfing friends!
