Overview
About Me
I'm intelligent, open-hearted and caring. At times adventurous n funny, at times serious n wise) Always looking for new experiences, knowledge, heart-to heart exchanges and self-development. Love water, wild nature and animals. I enjoy swimming, cycling, walking, massage, good music or performances, stand-up, concerts, dance, yoga, spa) I prefer very simple healthy food, can cook some nice stuff). My task is simple - be happy myself and make people around me happy)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I admire all brave adventurous travellers I meet. It's always interesting to know what they really feel while travelling. Unfurtunately, I have no facilities to host, (it's my dream, one day maybe) but I'm always ready to meet up and show around my city, spend some good time, so feel free to contact me if need any advise or help.
Travelling is about moving forward, so most couchurfers just come and go. Still I believe in friendship and hope it's possible to meet close people. Every new place you visit is like a new page in your book of life, a chance to start a new life - open new yourself. I used to be settled down, getting the most of what I can get here) I must say travel is a big stress for me but guess Im ready for this challenge again, cross the borders in all meanings, welcome new people, places and emotions. So hoping couchsurfing will make it possible)

Music, Movies, and Books

Teach, Learn, Share
Even if you visit our Siberian city during freezing winter, I know some perfect warming-up activities! (dont mean alcohol)) So just dress warm and come! Summers are usually hot though! I can always give some tips about local stuff and show around. Can also teach you Russian language. I see that many travellers suffer coz they cant communicate - Russia is not very much english-speaking. So make sure you can at least read russian words since not every cafe or restaurant have an english menu. Russian people seem a bit cold and non smiling and even afraid of foreigners at first, but they are really open-hearted when you get to know them a bit closer!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can do and teach massage (Thai, abdomen, acupressure), exercises. Can share things about my culture, teach Russian and English, various life-hacks, how to support balance, healthy body, mind and spirit.
