CURRENT MISSION

World Trip

Now I'm hitchhiking around 8 months with my boyfriend. We drove the whole vast Russia straight to Vladivostok, then went to China. Traveled to China for 3 months, it was an invaluable and very interesting experience, because this was the first time we left so far from home. We have a lot of interesting and absurd stories from China. After China, we went to Macau, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and now we are in Malaysia. All the way we passed without buying a single ticket for a bus, plane or train. We drove more than 60,000 kilometers on 400+ cars. Acquainted with a hundred magnificent people and motivated dozens of friends and unfamiliar people to travel. Very often we can stop at night with a tent in such a place that someone can think "what are these crazy guys". We are always on a positive alert, very open to new acquaintances and communication.
We chose this kind of travel because now we are young, we do not have children, a career or work that will bind our hands. We have only a wonderful Dalmatian which we left with our parents, camera, tent and the desire to see the whole world. Hitch-hiking for us now is the only way to move around the world with a small amount of money, but this is a lot of positive things, every day we get to know new people, see a lot of local places that are not accessible to ordinary travelers. It's also good to check for the strength of your partner, because very often you go hungry, without money, soaked to the skin and without the mood. But when you are a strong couple, you support each other and helps to continue the road with each passing day with renewed strength.
We really like spontaneous adventures, we like to travel around the different cities at great speed. Sometimes we do not have plans for the next week, then we go online and look for the place we want to visit. If it is several thousand kilometers from us, then this is not a problem. We just wake up in the morning, take our huge backpacks and go to a beautiful place. In this journey, a thousand kilometers for us has become less than 100 kilometers in our country, the borders on the map have already been erased for us. We want to live only as we want, receive positive emotions, like to motivate people to travel, share experiences, talk about our culture and country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing for me is an opportunity to find friends among travelers, to exchange experience. Also it's an opportunity to help travelers and to get this help yourself when you're on the way.

Каучсерфинг для меня возможность находить друзей среди путешественников, обмениваться опытом. Так же это возможность помочь путешественникам и получить эту помощь самому, когда ты в пути.

Interests

I travel a lot, most often with a hitchhiking with a tent. I'm photographer, so photography is an inalienable part of my life. I like to try new dishes, especially exotic. I like to cook and experiments in cooking. And of course to communicate with interesting and sincere people.

Я много путешествую, чаще всего автостопом с палаткой. Работаю я фотографом, поэтому фотография неотъемлемая часть моей жизни. Люблю пробовать новые блюда, особенно экзотические. Люблю готовить и экспериментировать в приготовлении. Ну и конечно общаться с интересными и искренними людьми.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the night at the top of the mountain, where I climbed quite accidentally. I didn't have any stuff and i didn't have a tent. All night I watched the sky around me bursting with lightning, but the small area above me was clear and all in the stars. Its wasn't rain that night, and the morning met me with hazy clouds that clung to the mountains and then the sun began to rise.

Ночевала на вершине горы, на которую забралась совершенно случайно. У меня не было с собой вещей и палатки и всю ночь я наблюдала, как небо вокруг меня разрывается от молний, но маленький участок надо мной был ясный и весь в звёздах. Дождь так и не начался той ночью, а утро встретило меня дымкой из облаков, которые зацепились за горы, сквозь которое начинало пробиваться солнце.
