About Me

Hello everyone,
My name is Olga.
In professional life I’m a marketing specialist, in my free time among other things I really enjoy traveling.

I’m quite open minded, calm and balanced person.
I equally enjoy company and moments of solitude.
I believe that to enjoy each others company we don’t need to be similar in every way, we just need to treat each other with respect, genuine interest and an open mind.

Every city I stay in, has two faces for me:
The former is a typical touristic side, where everything is beautiful and a bit festive.
The latter is a real local life with its unique features and people.
While traveling I prefer the latter, because it allows me to feel the real vibe of the place and it’s inhabitants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me traveling is about connecting with people, knowing how their everyday life looks like, understanding their culture and language.
And couchsurfing is a perfect place to meet like minded people.

Interests

PHOTO:
I always travel with a camera. It can be a film camera or a GoPro. It helps to produce my personal feeling and reflection of a place.

ART:
I enjoy discovering a new art in every city i travel. I can spend the whole day just in the art galleries or museums.

COFFEE:
I’m a huge fan of coffee, so if you offer me to drink a cup of coffee even in the evening I would happily agree.

URBAN:
I’m a big city lover. Urban environment feels like my natural habitat.
I often wander through the streets in a search of graffiti, street art and simply exploring street life, trying street food and observing people.
