Hi there and welcome,
Here are some things you'd probably want to know about me to get more acquainted:
My name is Lera, I'm 24-something years old, born and raised in Ukraine. And now I live in Moscow, Russia. But I really love and want to live in magnificent, breath-taking and sexy Saint Petersburg, Russia (It will be soon). If you come here, you'll love it too, for sure. Especially if you're lucky with weather.

I used to work in an international company, trying to become a broker expert. But I have realised that I don’t like it. And that is why I become to study Swift, because I want to be iOS developer. Well, I'm at the beginning of a long road :)

I have a husband, his name is Fedor. He is ux/ui designer. He plays guitar and like music 50-70s.
I'm a cheerful and calm person. Enjoy spending time in a small company of friends in cosy atmosphere. 
I'm more of listener than teller. Some sort of foodie. Like to eat well and something delicious. And sweet:)
That's it for a start. Feel free to ask if you want to know something more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm kind of a newbie here. Heard a lot of interesting and crazy stories from my friends about their CS experience. Had a chance to meet with some amazing couchsurfers during my last trip who helped us a lot.
In my opinion, CS is a perfect platform to get to know the real people, countries, cultures, not just a superficial touristic layer. It provides with an opportunity to learn something new & also share something with the world. It can help to eliminate prejudices and stereotypes, so people would understand that they're all the same despite any differences.

And also my husband and his best friend got host a few years ago in Saint Petersburg. That is why we want to live in that city.
