Good day! My name is Maria Lavrishcheva. I am currently a student at a language school in Poland. I just recently moved from the Crimea, so the whole world now seems to me infinitely huge, and people are incredibly interesting and strange. I love the black sea and the ever-green juniper slopes of the mountains. I'm still young, so I don't have a solid Foundation or a firm handshake yet. My world is shaky, like the top of a poppy stalk. The wind stirs me and sharpens the edges. People change me, and I become part of their endless history. In General, I am a Crimean Bashkir woman who wants to visit every warm and damp, hospitable and not very house that opens its doors to people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because this is an amazing opportunity to connect different parts of the world, share experiences and impressions, and share love!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in the night sea with glowing plankton.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ready for any exchange of knowledge. My mind is hungry for skills. I can cook fish and bake an berry pie. I can teach you how to kiss a frog and eat ants.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share the stories of the forgotten Taurus mountains, and the free Northern winds of the Urals. I can sing an old Bashkir lullaby and invite you to a pilaf in the warm Crimea.
