I am an open-minded individual with a deep passion for travel and connecting with people. Happily married and fully immersed in the world of Strategy Consulting, I seamlessly blend my professional pursuits with an active and adventurous lifestyle.

Having spent the majority of my life in Moscow, I made the exciting move to London in January 2023, exploring new experiences and opportunities.

When you meet me, you'll encounter a remarkably positive, friendly, and considerate individual who respects your boundaries and personal space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a great love for travel and seize every opportunity to embark on new adventures. Couchsurfing, to me, represents an incredible community of open-minded and hospitable individuals from all corners of the globe. It's a platform that allows me to connect with like-minded souls, forge meaningful connections, and create unforgettable memories together.

Not only do I eagerly seek out the company of fellow travelers, but I also take great joy in opening up my own space to welcome others. Sharing my home and experiences with fellow Couchsurfers brings me happiness and a sense of fulfillment.

Interests

I do daily reading, meditation and morning yoga routine. Weekly, I attend contact improvisation classes, go to the pool and a bouldering gym. Weekends are for travel and socializing with friends and my spouse.

Professionally, I'm passionate about technology and innovation in retail and consumer space, as well as sustainability and climate topics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I gravitate towards Indie music and Ethnic EDM, but my taste in music spans across various genres, including rock and classical.

In terms of movies and books, currently I mostly immerse myself in British content to gain a deeper understanding of the culture. I occasionally indulge in art-house films, appreciating their unique and thought-provoking narratives. I am also generally fond of the sci-fi genre.

In both movies and books, I seek out thought-provoking content that stimulates my mind and leaves me with a sense of introspection.
