Hello, I'm Olesya.
I'm a psychologist and a traveler. In traveling, I get acquainted with the culture of other countries and the worldview of other people. I hope this helps in my work - to understand people and help them.
I am interested in the whole world with its diversity and the fact that everything in this world has its own place. Even me and my travels :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS attracts me with its idea of ​​selfless sharing, exchange and cross-cultural connections. I think this is of great importance in a world that is constantly globalizing. Perhaps this is the ideal way to mutual understanding of people, bypassing their governments.
Maybe I'll even write a thesis on this :)

Interests

I like to walk around the city, I love architecture, nature, various interesting places that are not accessible to ordinary tourists, which only local people know about. I'm interested in different stories, sometimes I can even record something. I like modern art and sometimes visit exhibitions and museums. But also, I really like clubs, bars, concerts and different parties. I do not smoke, but I can drink with you)
I really love animals and especially horses. I also like dolphins, and I dream to swim with them :)
