Hey there, I'm Sofya.
I was born and raised in Moscow and I'm still here. A biomedical researcher and a dancer in my free time.

Love nature and contemporary art. I do performances and long walks outdoors. Hiking and bouldering. Dancing again.

I can take you to a dance class or party, contemporary art exhibition or hang out in a bar.
Of course, I'm a feminist, LGB-friendly but it's not important.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet authentic people and Couchsurfing is the right place.

It's not about cheap travelling, but about meeting different people in a comfortable and safe way, to be hospitable and open and meet open-minded people.

It's actually more fun to travel with couchsurfing than without.
I don't like when CS is used as Tinder. Please don't, being attached to outcome is creepy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Hiking trip Melbourne-12 Apostles, in Australia.

2. Another barefoot and silent hiking trip without tents in Russia.

3. Have a tendency to buy airplane tickets one day before the flight, well...

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to meet new people who are open to talk about the passions in their lives, who enjoy simple pleasures and long conversations.
Share one dance, share one conversation, share chill vibe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a walk through my city, a good conversation, maybe a short hiking trip or short visit to another city, why not?

When I host, I can offer a couch in a living room, though it depends on my flatmates plans.
