I'm Russian by blood, born in Germany and raised in Austria, finished uni in England, and now am back home, itching to get away for a long time.

Easy going, sometimes too chatty, definitely enthusiastic with an utterly inappropriate sense of humour.

One of the greatest mysteries I will never understand is how people feel ashamed for trying something new and being bad at it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Due to my circumstances, I can't offer a couch or sleeping place.
BUT: I will happily take my time to show you around Vienna as much as possible, meet up with you and help you plan your stay here, to give you the best experience of my city.

Interests

I used to be very scattered, but I've come around to figuring out some things I'm more interested in than others. Languages, Art, Cooking (hoping to get the chance to cook with people while travelling!), and pretty much any type of sport (Diving and skiing being my staples, but the list is long.)

• arts

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me that when I'm 80. I hope that by that age, I will have seen and done some truly amazing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will happily take my time and try to teach you anything I myself know. Languages, cooking, exercise advice. I used to work in a circus so there are a few tricks left from that time too. I'd say I'm a very willing, open book.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can repay my stay with food and good conversation. The food is good too. Might be even better than the conversation. But you decide.
