ABOUT ME

I love travelling and experiencing new places. I'm excited to meet people from different countries and to learn languages, traditions, local dances and local cuisine.

Currently, unfortunately, I'M NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT GUESTS cos travelling for a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I truly believe in the importance of travelling. You are getting new ideas, thoughts and inspiration when travelling. Also, it helps to extend your horizons and to get real treasures - emotional and informational exchange with other people.
Feeling isolated in hotels I always prefer hostels and even better - friend's places.

Interests

My friends say I connect people. It is my passion - to learn about new cultures and new ideas, to make friends everywhere building beautiful constellations around this planet.
I am a fun loving spiritual gal who believes in kindness and love. In March of 2019 I became a yoga teacher and a massage therapist in May - fulfilling one of my old dreams and leaving the corporate world behind.
I love traveling, dancing, music (preferably live), sports (volleyball, tennis, snowboarding, climbing, hiking,...), reading books, practising yoga.
Welcoming sunsets and sunrises at unique and beautiful locations, enjoying festivals, exchanging good vibes with all the creatures I meet - that's me :-)
Also, I am a fan of mountains and everything related to it. Leading teams in mountains since teenage years.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love festival movies.
My favourite director is Julio Medem, love his films; love films by Kusturica, Almodovar, and many more.
Volunteering for years at European Union Film Fest in Toronto I got a lot of favs, I even don't remember in details many of the movies I watched. However, they def left warm traces in my heart.

Music: good electronic one, tribal, ethnic, psychedelic, jazz, Spanish guitar, all depends on a situation and current mood..cos it can be metal as well, lol. Really depends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

made a hiking trip through Caucasian Mountains with another girl. Two girls in the wilderness, in Caucasian mountains, for several days. It was the beginning of the season, there was a lot of snow, hard conditions, and the absence of people for dozens of kilometres. And we didn't have maps because we planned to go to another area, but weren't allowed by rangers due to weather conditions. So, all six days I had to rely on my memory of a trip that happened several years ago. It was a dangerous but fantastic adventure!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Russian language and some recipes.
We can practice yoga and meditation together.
Also, I can provide a lot of info about travelling through the South of Russia, India, the US and some other regions, especially about mountains and hiking there.
