About Me

I once graduated from a prestigious university in Moscow. I worked in a laboratory with transistors and radiation, and worked as an IT specialist at a bank. But at one point I dropped everything and went traveling. In November 2019, I packed my backpack and flew✈️ to Georgia without a return ticket, so my journey began💃. From this time I visited 34 countries, hitchhiked more than 50 000 km, including a trip from Mexico to Brasil, I was working in the Philippines like an online casino dealer and I collected a cabage🥦 on the English farm. Now I have a wealth of experience behind me in budget travel with a tent and hitchhiking.

Traveling is my lifestyle🌍. They help me understand the world and myself🍄. Uncontrollable curiosity moves me forward to explore countries and foreign cultures🏜️, and love for nature takes me to amazing corners of our planet: canyons🏞️, jungles, lakes, mountains and oceans. Years after starting a new life, I found my way✨. The path mindfulness🌌. Vipassana illuminated the way for me and every day I practice meditation and continue the journey deep into myself 🧘‍♀️

I don’t see CS as a dating-app! I randomly get messages from people who ask me strange questions and think there’s more: NO!
Only if you are interested in who I am in a friend-zone way, you can send me a message, otherwise don’t bother me!:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a unique opportunity to meet interesting people and gain a deeper understanding of other cultures.

Interests

I am becoming more and more immersed in Chinese tea culture. And I even take with me a small set for tea ceremonies.

I love deep conversations. But sometimes the language barrier prevents a full conversation.

Meditation, mindfulness, Vipassana, Buddhism. This is all now an important area of ​​my interests, life path and development ✨
