I am very interested in change of scenery and want to see the world.

I used to work as a psychologist with orphans and adopted children and now I've changed my job and work in realty estate as an HR-specialist.

I like to walk large distances on foot. Nature is my passion.
and I don't like drinking alcohol.
I suppose that recital of positive characteristics is meaningless, as opposed to negative %)
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
I'm afraid of maniacs, so if you are one of them please don't write to me :)

I will be glad to meet you and to show you our wonderful city!

PHILOSOPHY

It's better to be an old lady with 35 cats than just an old lady

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I suppose it is the best way to discover a new place and meet new friends from other countries
