Hi! My name is Sasha and I'm from Russia. Right now I’m an au pair in Iceland in Hafnarfjörður and I really want to meet new people here or in Capital area of Reykjavik.

My favorite hobbies are speedcubing (solving Rubik's cube and other puzzles) , riding a bike, running, going for long walks, playing board games. In winter I love snowboarding. I’m not a party person and don’t enjoy night life but I believe I’m still fun to be around :)
I love pets . I have an adorable chinchilla Mark back home.

I graduated with BA in Linguistics in summer 2020. When I was still in college, I was dreaming of becoming an interpreter but then it kinda fainted away and now I’m still looking for myself and trying to figure out what I’d like to do for a living.

I love volunteering. I think it’s a great way to challenge yourself, give back to a community and it also feels satisfying for me when I see that I can help and that I’m needed. I was a volunteer mainly at sports events like FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia, Winter Worlds Master Games in Austria and many other events in Russia

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I first tried couchsurfing I understood right off how great this community is. I wanna be a part of it
