About Me

Friendly, serious, conscious, energetic, emotional and sensitive.

I agree with saiying that the state of your life depends on a state of your mind.

I rely on the kindness of people and I take care of those relying on me.

I definitely love travelling because it let me open the new cultures , meet amazing people, feel the taste of life, be myself and learn smth new about myself. I always move and explore something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My CS status is beginner though I have already hosted people from other countries many times when I lived in St. Petersburg.

Now I'm in Moscow, renting a very little room and unfortunately I can't afford hosting strangers.

But I'll be glad to show you Moscow or Saint-Petersburg during the weekend and evenings after work! I'm a good guide)
