Hello, my name is Natalya and I love to travel and have fun! I was originally born in Siberia, and because of my parents I had the opportunity to move to the United States at the age of 9, so if you meet me unfortunately I will not sound like an evil James Bond villain.

I enjoy meeting new people and asking them about their travel and life experiences. I would take a night of tea filled with deep conversation with a close friend over a night at the club any day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that my philosophy in life has changed a lot, I've come to realize that there is nothing more precious than your time, and filling it with activities that make you grow and spark your curiosity is the best way to spend it.

This is the reason why I'm taking up traveling and leaving the corporate world. I really want to see what's out there, and I want to learn more about different cultures and lifestyles.

Interests

I really enjoy meeting new people! Especially from different backgrounds and different cultures. Want to practice your English with me? I'd love to help you out! Talk to me about your problems and see if I can help? I'm definitely open to that. I'm very easy going and love to chat with different types of personalities.

Whether it's snowboarding, hiking, or taking a jog down the street, I like to get at least a couple of hours in a day if I can. I also love listening to music and going on long drives.

Recently I have started to do a lot more writing.
