About Me

I was born in Russia but grew up in Phuket, Thailand. Asia will always have a special place in my heart❤️🦀

After finishing school traveled the world, studied art and design in Prague. When corona hit CZ, I tried to get back home to Phuket, but all the borders were closed and I got stuck in Moscow. Decided to stay there, until last year January. Since January 2022 till June 2022 was in Asia. Got a chance to visit India and hike around Annapurna mountains. Can read about it here https://t.me/marie_rado/7

Then I had to go back to Moscow, cuz all my clothes, especially warm ones were here. Plans changed a gazillion times, I'm still in Moscow but not for long

On the 25th Feb landing in Istanbul and then my plan is to visit Tel Aviv, and next? who knows ahah

I am a true weirdo that dances where ever there's music (or no music is fine as well). I love DIY things and art in general. Very friendly and talkative. LOOOOOVE adventures

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find the idea of couch surfing extremely fascinating, because it's an easy way to make friends and explore the city with the locals.

I've traveled quite a lot and whenever I did couch surfing I had a different kind of experience. I felt like I was part of the community of the city and got to see its from a completely different view. Definitely don't get that while living in an airbnb

Interests

I live art. I love making something with my hands and being creative at all times:)

Love books about psychology, science and outer space.

Also love ready about art. Right now reading a very cool book called Seven Keys to Modern Art
