Hi dear future friend! I am Polina, almost 27 y.o. from Altai, Russia. Today I am a music video and advertising director based in Moscow, Russia. I started travelling when I was 15 and got into a state exchange program in USA. Since then I just love meeting new people and learning their culture, discussing ways to live and what people love to do. I like to take pictures of places where I've been, meditation and yoga. I am also healthy food lover who prefers food with no meat, if that matters to you. While traveling I mostly walk a lot around places of natural power or just avoid touristic attractions and try to feel how people live everyday life. Would love to meet new friends and share exciting experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and talk to someone who lives in the area, get some advice or just share a meal with an interesting talk. I love people who follow their dreams and do right things. Also sometimes there are just no good places to stay around the place I want to visit and come on, hotels are bo-o-oring!
