I'm in love with life.

I was born in Russia, but my family moved to Finland when I was 14.
I'm absolutely in love with the country I'm living in. Some people might think that Finland is a kinda boring small place in the middle of nowhere... but they can't be more wrong=))) I love Helsinki and especially Kallio - a very bohemian and artistic district I'm living in.

I'm a sea person, I would never be able to live in a place far away from the sea... so Helsinki is a perfect city for me.

I really enjoy meeting new people. I'm a journalist, so it's a part of my profession, but I also like to share new experience with interesting persons, that's why I decided to join CS.

I'm an open-minded, friendly and active person, who appreciate a good talk, good wine and good company=))))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really fascinated with the idea of meeting new interesting people by sharing my home and my love for Helsinki with them=))) I love to travel, so I know very well that usually the best way to get a perfect travel experience is to meet locals and see things outside the tourist bubble.

Interests

I love to cook, so if you're a friend of good food and like to try new things in the kitchen we'll definitely find a connection=)
I write a lot, not only because I'm a journalist and translator, but also because I love to express myself in writing.
I also love traveling, reading, taking photos, exploring new places and having fun=)))
