I'm an IT person. Somewhat nerdy, and not very emotional on the surface. But I like meeting new people, acting silly sometimes, and never being too old for anything. I do my best to be open-minded, and value it in other people.

I live in Tula with my husband and two cats.
I like walking, talking, books, computers, sour chemex coffee, stinky cheese & licorice.

Have visited 26 countries and 29 (of 83) regions of Russia so far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know new people, talk, walk, laugh. To find some good local coffee :)
Making new friends would be awesome too!

I can show around my hometown, and would like to know about yours.

Meeting would be great, unfortunately can't host yet.

Interests
