Hey! My name is Olga. I'm 27 years old, living my best life or at least trying to :) 4 years ago I wanted and had a great chance to start to travel a lot and was about to get to know couchsurfing much better but yeah, things changed. (Well, this explains my one and only reference at the moment haha)

After working for 2 years as a russian language assistant in Austria, I finally started and now almost finished my master's in Vienna for getting even more better at teaching. Teaching German is also my lovely part-time job :)

I love languages and the way they form people's thinking. I love the idea of authentic relationships when people are aware of their feelings and senses and are able to reflect and dive deep into the conversation. I love independent movies and books in general (especially Russian classics). I love people and I love meeting new people when I have the capacity to do so :) also love being alone and do things alone from time to time :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I think "couch surfing" is just a great thing which helps people get together and make friends, sometimes even by chance! Besides, how else can I find out more about the way people live in one or another city/country as not through communication with the citizens.
