I come from Russia originally but I've been living in Australia for the past 8 years (with a six-month stop over in Italy;-)). I teach English to international students and I absolutely love my job. Meeting people from different walks of life and parts of the world and sharing our stories is what I love most, which is one of the reasons why I'm so passionate about traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've previously hosted 3 couch surfers and it was such a positive experience! I believe in paying it forward and I hope that I can meet local people in places where I go as it's the best way to get the feeling of the country and its culture.

Interests

Traveling, sports (especially winter sports like skiing and snowboarding), pole dancing, healthy lifestyle and cooking, reading books, psychology, mindfulness and meditation, learning foreign languages

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eight years ago I came to Australia all by myself without knowing anyone and I managed to establish my life and career here and got the citizenship.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love talking about important things and sharing my knowledge and experience in different fields, which I have plenty of. I love cooking and would love to cook some traditional Russian food for my hosts (if you're brave enough haha). I can teach you English and Russian if you're keen as well.
