I was born in Brest, Belarus.
Moved to Minsk (the capital) to study and work at 17. Studied, worked and lived for 10+ years here.

I relocated to Poland in 2020. And just adore the people, the culture and the country in general. I am even learning Polish.

My passion is teaching and IT. I have been working as a Minsk State Linguistic University instructor of the English language for 3,5 years.

Then moved to an IT field and have been working as a Project manager ever since 2017.

I love learning new languages (Italian, German, Polish, not counting English), cycling (travelled through some countries on my bike), hiking in the mountains, reading (you name it - I read a lot), psychology, music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling my whole life and staying at the hotels, I feel like I am missing out on connecting with people. culture, experience and some adventures!

Meeting new people and hearing their stories will be a nice experience.
