ABOUT ME

***Due to some unpleasant experiences in the past, I would like to be absolutely discreet about the fact that I am NOT here to release sexual tension and hookup around the world. CS is a community of like-minded individuals and travelers for me, not some exotic version of tinder.***

After having lived in Germany for nearly 6 years, I returned home to Russia where I work in prop tech, teaching English as a side hustle. Part of my heart forever stayed in Finland, where I did an exchange study semester. I have visited pretty much all the European countries and now can't wait to discover new continents and cultures. I studied intercultural communication and that affected me a lot. I am extremely curious about new things. One can say I am a person to laugh with, can't miss an opportunity to crack a joke!

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short to have a plan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started it all as a schoolgirl full of prejudices and fears. Now I became an individual who's met people from different parts of the planet: from Russia to Iceland, from Poland to Mexico. All of them were kind and satisfied with their lives, all of them taught me something. Thanks to them, now I am who I am.

Interests

I certainly enjoy the me-time, but when with interesting people - I can talk for hours. The experience shows that there are so many topics to discuss! If we both love to discuss stuff over a cup of coffee - there surely will be a match. I can tell a lot about cultures, finance, Russian memes (they are top!) - what a weird mix haha. And I am always curious to learn more about anything. Learning is my personal kink.

• photography
• traveling
• languages
• volunteering
• youtube
• food
• sustainability
• finance

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music but heavy metal and opera. I am always listening to something whenever there is an occasion. Love to imagine myself as a part of a music video!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are too many of them, let's make it short:
-Was a volunteer in the international environmental project in Southern Iceland
-Once spent a night at the church-porch in Florence after finding no host there
-Managed to couch-surf at the police office in Genova, while trying to call my host from there, and had a dinner with policemen

Teach, Learn, Share
