ABOUT ME

In June 2016 I have hitch-hiked across the USA from NYC to California all alone.
Learn about the route and adventures - www.MeetTheKosmos.com

I cycled around the UK on a small Brompton folding bike (2014) and then did the same thing in Estonia (2016) - check out www.2girls2bikes.com.

I am a guide of lighthouse tours, a keen cyclist, a project manager in a city cycling organization and a promoter of city events (festivals, bicycle parades, lectures).
I adore my city, I'm a good walking and biking guide, but not a great source of information. I can show you all lighthouses around St.P., though =)
If my couch is free from guests, who fill our home pretty often, I would love to host somebody from a different country.

PHILOSOPHY

life is too short to be anything but happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sorry, guys, I am not accepting guests at the moment, as I am on the road pretty much all summer!

A keen traveller and host. I'll be happy to meet cool people from other countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
When I offered my husband to try CS on our first trip together in 2012 he said "over my dead body". When we returned from that amazing european trip, where we tried hitch-hiking and Couchsurfing, where we found so many new friends, he was so enlightened! He said "I had no idea there's so much beauty and kindness in the world!"
I guess this is what CS is about for me. Opening doors, erasing the borders, bringing people together.
