About Me

Originaly born in Russia, but already changed few countries due to work relocation and ended up in Germany more than 10 years ago.
I´m active sportive person, interested in music, getting to know new people and keeping friendship with old ones. I´m fascinated by all variety of cultures, human inventions and rituals on this planet. Eyes wide open for new experiences. Travelling together with my little family (husband, 8 years old son and 5,5 y.o. daughter).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to discover new places with locals and seeing not only tourist places, but also the normal way of life. Until now I had amazing experiences with couchsurfing, which I will never get by staying in the hotel.
My feature: trying out traditional cloth in every country I visit

Interests

I love nature, animals and outdoor activities. Open to explore new things and eager to learn new cultures. I´m very much into photography, horse riding and hiking.

Teach, Learn, Share
