Hello! I'm a recent graduate of History of Art and Russian . I was born in Murmansk, Russia but have been living in England for about 14 years! I lead a very active lifestyle, balancing work with hobbies, such as jogging, cooking and painting. Cooking is definitely one of my greatest passions although I haven't quite grasped baking yet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to join couch surfing when a friend recommended the site after having stayed with a couchsurfing host in Barcelona. She said it was a brilliant experience as it was great to get tips from a native. Also I really enjoy chatting to new people and hearing stories from their travels and I believe that such a personable experience cannot be found when staying in a hotel.
