Hi, I am Mariia.
Ages ago I left my small hometown at the very North of Russia and moved to Moscow. This is how my journey started. After amazing years of PhD in oldest country’s university, after settling down in Moscow and having a great job... I decided to move forward... to Switzerland! And so far it was the brightest decision in my life.
I have finished my second education in ETH Zürich and fall completely in love both with the city and the country.
Currently, I am living and working in Neuchâtel, exploring the world around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the concept. Also for me it’s a great way to meet interesting people, to explore the country from inside.
