I'm a chef. It means that I love food. It's my passion. it's my profession, it's life. Travelling for me is also about new flavours, new ingredients. I believe that people can get closer by sharing food, by sitting at a table together.

A way from being a shy girl to a confident traveller was long and difficult. The greatest experience for me was my 6-month-long trip to California, which taught me a lot about people, trust, travelling and myself.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

For me Couchsurfing is a way to meet new people and make friends. When I travel, I am trying to pretend that I live in the city I visit. I like to feel involved in the city life not as a tourist, but as a person who can possibly live there.

People on Couchsurfing always share the same values — respect for others, gratitude, sharing travel experiences, being open minded, inquisitive and kind.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

A friend of mine took me to fly his Cessna plane and actually let me hold the steering wheel and control the plane. The views were breathtaking. It was so exciting, I was speechless.

And the second amazing thing I've done is taking part in Masterchef TV show in Russia, ending up in Top 5 best home cooks of the country!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I have a lot of stories to tell. About countries I visited, about life in Russia, about food, design and so on.

I am always happy to cook for you and your friends. I can teach you how to make Russian food if you want!
