I'm originally Russian, but moved to Zurich with my parents as a teenager. Went to an international school as a kid and have been curious about other cultures and countries ever since. Love to travel (although typically prefer the rural side of places versus urban) and to meet different people, just wish there was more time for it! I love food, red wine, glittering snow, the sea and warm summer nights. Nowadays I'm also very interested in any type of conscious dance and the topic of self-awareness, but also think it's important not to take life too seriously. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great idea to meet and stay with locals when travelling to have a more authentic experience. When I'm not too busy with projects and my flat-mate is out of town, I might be able to host someone as well. Otherwise - happy to send you tips for Zurich, to answer any questions or to meet up for an interesting conversation over a cup of coffee/ glass of wine.
