I'm Olga, I'm a geographer from Russia and being wanderlust is the way I see the life.
Almost 10 years on Couchsurfing and it's never cease to amaze me. I kinda "old school couchsurfer" who truely believes in its mission and separates such things as CS and Tinder.
I've got my Master thesis on "Geography of Couchsurfing".
At the moment I based in Moscow working in public NGO in charge of youth projects and organization of environmental and archaeological expeditions in Russia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I'm travelling solo, I use CouchSurfing very often that helps me to get around new countries and get involved into local activities.
