About Me

I'm very positive and open-minded woman with the kind heart and nice smile! I really like traveling and dream about exploring the world, meeting new people and getting new experience!
At the age of 18 I went to Germany as an Au-Pair (living in the host family and taking care of their kids) and spent the whole year. That was my first experience living so away from my home, but it was great time! I grew up a lot and visited different countries near Germany. That how my traveling experience began. After that I realized that traveling is the best way to explore new interesting and beautiful things in life and now I just don't want to stop traveling!
After my year that I came back to Kazakhstan to study at University. That was also a great time with many different interesting things happening like volunteering, participating in different programs, leading students' newspaper and many other things (I could tell you more when we meet!). During my study I've visited the USA taking part in Leadership program from my university! That was so much fun!
After that I was in the US again working as an Au-Pair. It was a great way for me to explore something new in my life. And now I'm in Germany improving my German! After that I want to study special needs education here. Feel free to ask me more if you want :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is one of the most interesting things for me! I think it helps me to grow, earn new experience and just have fun! Couchsurfing gives me an opportunity to meet different amazing people and make friends all around the world! Even though I just started my experience with Couchsurfing I got inspired by so many profiles I read and so many things people have done, so I want to be a part of this interesting and fun community!

Music - I like pop, jazz, worship songs, classic music, soundtracks, but I'm also open to different things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My life dream came true - Skydiving on my 24th Birthday :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I think we all can learn from each other and from daily things which are around us. But only if we open to them. That's what I'm trying to do every day in my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As for sharing I think I can share my Russian culture which I love so much (new recipices, traditions, even Russian language) as well as my positive attitude.
