My name is Veronika, I'm 30 years old, I am from Moscow. Just I retired from Microsoft and decided to see United States. I am going on a long journey and begin from Seattle, where I plan to stay for 5-6 months.
I am cheerful, funny, easygoing, openminded, straight but LGBT friendly, dont mind if someone is open for 420, but prefer wine for myself. Traveled through many countries (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Austria, Italy, France, England, etc) and I can tell a lot about them and about my homeland Russia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see States from local side and thats why I want to connect with open and definitely the greatest people, who are so generous to share their home with people all around the wolrld. As I plan to be in Seattle for a long time, I want to find more than just host, I want to find new friends, with whom we could make a lot of fun, exploring Seattle and surroundings.

Interests

I like to read, watch series, running, hiking, swimming, snowboarding and diving. Also I play Ingress (Resistance L12) and if you want, I can tell and show you this game, really interesting!
I would be happy to spend evenings in theatres, or sightseeng or in some bars or cafes, with this sometimes I need time to recover energy and at this time I need to be alone.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like club music for car, classic music for work with excel, jazz for chill.
Watch Game of Thrones (Winter is near!)), liked Breaking Bad, Fargo, Sherlock. And Friends is the best series ever!
As for books I prefer russian classic literature, their names wont tell anything)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I had one dive in Korolev's Space Center not far from Moscow, in astronaut's swimming pool. Astronauts prepare themselves for technical works in open space in this swimming pool, as zero gravity feels almost like weightlessness underwater. So, I had a chance to swim through and near all this space stuff and feel myself in space. It was absolutely amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell a lot about Russia and all countries where I had been before. I like wine and can speak about this best drink that humanity had ever invent.
Want to know a lot about US and Seattle in general, about Alaska as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to bring some small present from Russia and leave it as warm memory about Russian girl. Also I can cook some tasty dishes, comfort for every person or make something special from Russia with beet for example =)
