Me and my husband Artem are Erasmus-volunteers. We work as educators in afterschool with kids in Salzburg and are dreaming about traveling.

Before COVID we lived in Saint-Peterburg for 10 years as freelancers and run our small businesses: I am a master of traditional thai massage and biodimanic therapy. Artem is trainer, coach and mindfulness teacher.
But then we decided to change our lives, give up usual and comfortable life and start to help people through the world.
Now we work with kids, next stop could be UNICEF, masters-degree in USA or living in a small village in Russia, or smth else.

For now we live in a tiny room in students dorm in Salzburg so we can't host anyone for now. But we can spend time walking around, so don't hesitate to contact us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and explore new countries, places and cities. Every person is a new world for me.
