ABOUT ME

Hi there! I come from Russia, a beautiful city of Vladivostok which is closer to Tokyo, Beijing, or Seoul than our capital Moscow :) Here we enjoy pristine beaches, water sports, and fresh seafood, come and check it out! I love making other people fall in love with Vladivostok.

I work as a local travel manager, I have traveled a lot myself - all over Russia, China, USA, Turkey, Israel. All of these trips were special and with a purpose of volunteering (China), study (USA), learning about my identity (Israel) and taking part in a leadership program (Turkey).

This November I aim to check the box in my bucket list and visit Italy 💔🇮🇹 I’m traveling with my boyfriend Michael

Besides Russian, I speak English and Chinese, and have A1 level of Spanish. I love dancing bachata, talking and learning about hospitality and sustainability, alpine skiing, and developing my creative project. Expect a small present from my coast 🐚 Michael loves all about movies, sport activities, and he has a car-related business.

PHILOSOPHY

Accept challenges and make this world a better place

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love seeing different people and listening to their unique stories - everyone has their own background, beliefs, goals, and ideas worth sharing!

I am intrigued by the real life of a place I visit which is hidden from tourists.
What does your house looks like?
What food do you eat at home?
Where do you spend your weekends?
What is your personal hidden gem of the city?

Right now I don't have my apartment in Russia but anyway I try to help travelers and can offer you a tour around the city since I know a lot about it.
