Hey 👋🏻I’m Nelly (Нейля для своих). I am a 23 year old based in Vancouver . I moved to Canada at the age of 16 all alone to learn English and ended up staying there for 7 years. I blame my passion for travel on my nomad background as I can’t stay in one place for too long. I am going into my 3 year studying psychology. I also work as a gogo dancer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that meeting locals is great way to learn more about local culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am passionate about techno, hardcore, hard techno, house music. I love the underground rave scene for what it offers.
My favourite movies are Requiem for a dream, Trainspotting, Black Swan, This is England
When it comes to books, I enjoy reading any classic psychology literature. Think of Freud, Jung and etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Canada without knowing anyone and anything about the culture at 16

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some yoga, dance or pole moves, some Russian and Kazakh. Tell you about the Kazakh and Canadian cultures. Share my knowledge on psychology and behaviour therapy, and stories from my life

What I Can Share with Hosts
