ABOUT ME

I made my first trip at the age of 2. While all the other kids were crying, I looked excited out the window and fell asleep 😅 Who knows; maybe it was the start of my passion for traveling (36 countries and counting).

I am originally from Moscow, lived in many European countries, and am now based in Berlin. I am a very sociable, easygoing, and open-minded person. I fully support peace - NO WAR and NO VIOLENCE mindset.

I love meeting new people and enjoy life in every sense of it.

I consider myself a citizen of the world, but my heart belongs to Italy: I have been to 35 cities/towns there and planning to visit more :) Spain is next on my list 😁

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world with my own eyes, discover new places, try different things, and learn something from the people I meet. Also, to get a decent level in Spanish (currently it is A2) and become an excellent bachata dancer. I am very passionate about dancing and go to socials a few times per week. My dream is to go backpacking around Latin America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

PHILOSOPHY

I think that every person has (and is) a unique story. Nothing in this world can make you richer than getting to know other people and listening to them. Couchsurfing is a perfect place to find open-minded and interesting people worldwide, exchange cultural experiences, and share many unforgettable moments.

NB! As much as I love sharing experiences, sharing a bed is NOT okay. Also, I am a very friendly and polite person, but I leave messages like "Hello angel, do you want to spend a night together, what are you doing, etc." unanswered. Safety and respect are important to me. Please don't use CS as Tinder. Thanks for understanding 🙌
