About Me

Attention❗️
Read carefully. I’m in South Korea right now.
I’m a traveler, living a healthy lifestyle. I don't smoke and don't drink alcohol, it’s prohibited in my house. I always leave a reference and add to my friend list the people who I met personally through CS.

I’m working on radio 📻 pilotfm.ru/online in Yekaterinburg.
Searching for beautiful people and places.
Collecting📍points on the map 🗺 .
One picture is worth a thousand words.

Check my albums here to feel joy of hosting and surfing.
You can check my Instagram @vlanicca or telegram channel @zametki_iz_krugosvetki - “Заметки из кругосветки”. When you make a request, text my name at least.

简单到复杂, 是前半生的阅历。
复杂到简单, 是后半生的修行。

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting locals and hosting foreigners.
I'm starting to use CS during my travels not so much time ago, but it lifts the experiences for the highest level.
Thank you all!
