About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I constantly find ways to enjoy my life and like to help others do the same

ABOUT ME

I love to follow my intuition and every time find something fascinating in what I'm doing. I love to travel, I love to communicate and find surprising ideas to develop them into projects. I have two boys - 6 and 8 years ols and I organise and participate in many activities, connected with kids and teir families.

I used to do a lot of crazy things like going on a ski hike in winter with sleeping in a tent, doing something like coach surfing but within one city with the single idea to have fun (we had a terrific company), walking on fire, sleeping on a bench in the US when we had no place to sleep (that was an interesting story - thanks God it was summer) and some others.

Now I'm a mother and I haven't been traveling in a while which I miss a lot. So, I'm going to catch up.

I've never traveled anywhere "all inclusive" and I like to feel every place and every country from inside, from local point of view as much as I can. And I like to have interesting people in my place - this way I can show others Russia from inside. I've done that to some foreigners already - they said they loved it.

I can go on and on...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to both surf and coach. For me it's not just a free coach to sleep - this is a chance to get to know new people and new cultures. And you never know what can come out of it. Every time completely new life and new adventure! Why not to try it?

And I hope to find new friends here

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been sailing by boat through the Polar Circle on the White Sea (Russia). It was amazingly beautiful, quiet, unrealistic. Completely different world. A place where I want to come back.
