❀ Hello! ❀

I am a nerdy INTJ foodie from Lithuania with Russian & Ukrainian roots, been living in the UK since 2014 (with a break over COVID in 2019-2021 that I spent in the US).
I always loved traveling and trying to do so more often.

Hosting together with my American husband Nathanael who I brought to Edinburgh from sunny Colorado, he is in IT and a bit more extroverted than I am, would be up for having a pint at a local pub or talking anything history or video games!

We both work full time during the week so wont be able to hang out during the day much, but open for occasional evening eating out or cooking in together

We also have a well-behaved indoor-only 8yo kitty. Hope you're okay with cats! She's a very chill lady who loves sleeping around the house and occasionally coming around for pets and attention, but only on her terms :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for some meaningful connections from around the world

Interests

I love good food, as well as different teas, making desserts, and most things Japan related.

Please note that I am not into crazy drinking/clubbing/partying all night thing if you're here for that :)

More into chill exploring, trying coffee shops, good food, also occasional cooking, cozy board game/movie nights

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to the UK when I was 18, just 2 months after graduating high school. I've never thought about living in another country before, then one day decided to follow my dream of becoming a pastry chef and traveling and here I am!
