Currently in Moscow, Russia
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi to everyone! My name is Mariya. I am from Podolsk, a small city not far from Moscow, and I do love my hometown)
In January 2018 I came to Montenegro for a regular 2-week holiday and that trip became a crucial point in my life. Since that time I can say, that I live between two countries.
I'm an easy-going open-minded person and always ready to support different type of activities and adventurous ideas) I like to travel and explore different countries and cultures to know more about the world and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see our planet and meet new people from all over the world. I believe that meeting people is the best way to know about any specific country and the world in general. That's why I try to comunicate with locals every time while traveling. People are the spirit of country.
As well I always glad to hung out and show you around.

Interests

I like an active rest and different types of activities such as ice skating, swimming, bicycle riding, hiking or just walking outdoors.
Photography is my big passion as well. I love to take pictures of nature, cities, street-live, people, especially while travelling. It's not only the way for me to store these memories, but it's also my personal way to understand live better and to be "here and now."

Music, Movies, and Books

Actually I like different types of music but the most favorite one is rock music.
I prefer that kind of movies which raises questions about life and, of course, about travels, mountains and so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sea kayaking day in Olympos, Turkey... For that moment it was not a good idea) The sea wasn't calm and there weren't other kayakers with the exception of us. I was so affraid! Our kayak could smash against the rock! But we managed to escape from that terrible bay. Now I remember this situation as a fun adventure)
Auto travel through Kamchatka, a land of bears. Ten nights in a tent... And what about bears? I saw none of them! What a disappointment! However, from the other hand I think we were lucky)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you Russian language) there is a common opinion that it's very difficult and tricky. Well... it's true to some extent. But I can try to do my best)
