I'm a vibrant blend of Asian and European cultures, having been born in Kazakhstan and living in Europe for over ten years. My passion for art knows no bounds—I specialize in graphic design, UX/UI design, and mixed media design. I even edit two design podcasts!

With a degree in psychology, I'm always curious about learning foreign languages and exploring new cultures. I also have an interesting hobby: collecting graffiti and murals from the cities I visit and sharing them on my Instagram @polinakrg.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from other cultures, expand my worldview and share my experience with others. I have been actively taking part in the Couchsurfing community for over 12 years. I surfed, hosted, went to numerous events and met absolutely amazing people ,who changed my life on CS

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the Fusion Festival just two days after getting my ticket, with almost nothing prepared, and ended up having the best time of my life!
After that, I volunteered as a graphic designer for Berlin's Kiezburn Festival.
I passed the B1 level language test after just 2.5 months of intensive study. At one point, I even started thinking in that language!
