Hey everyone!

I am Polina, now living in Tel Aviv and developing a Chinese tea brand here. I perform ceremonies, do design, and develop our social networks. Originally, I am from Russia, from Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow, where I studied Mathematics and Physics. Later, I worked as a creative producer on projects connected to multimedia art and design. I curated art residencies and organized a few contemporary art exhibitions, so if that’s in your field of interest too, we could talk about it for hours! I also play chess and make handmade chess sets out of epoxy. Another thing about my interests is that I love to cook and even have experience working in a restaurant. If you like cooking, we could do something together or share our best recipes :)

Now I am traveling in Europe and going to the Electric Castle festival in Romania to listen to my favorite bands (Massive Attack, Khruangbin, Bonobo, etc.). Here, I mostly spend time with my friends. After that, I am going to Italy and will be happy to meet the locals!

So if you're in Italy too, let me know! I would be really happy to share my time with the locals and other travelers to explore your culture deeper. <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring the world and meeting new people, sharing memories together. My first experience here was in 2018, and I still am in touch with everyone I met here and I am proud to call those people my friends.
