Hello! My name is Yana and i'm from Far East of Russia, Sakhalin island. I was styding at the University in Saint-Petersburg and after my graduation came back to my hometown. I've got a bachelor degree in Human Recourses, which is my current profession. Funally i can travel more and more everywhere i want! As a person i'm curious, kind, outgoing and open-minded. I like to try new things that's give me emotions, memories and unforhettable experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is my truly passion. Every new trip could help you to broaden horisens. When i visit new country and speak with native people i feel like i'm a part of it even just for a few days. For me, staying at the hotel it's a quite boring idea for people who wants to be in the confort zone. I'm young and i want to travel with my backpack and communicate with interesting local citizens. I think that Couchsirfing is a great way for people like me: young, free and full of energy for any adventures :)

Interests

For this moment of my life i spend all my free time on workouts at gym, improving my English skills and reading a lot of books about different subjects. I like try new things even when it's scary sometimes. It develops you like a person, makes you stronger and helps to discover new aspects of personality.

About books i can highlite the following writers: Bradbury Ray Douglas, Haruki Murakami, Erich Maria Remarque. And I'm absolutely music lover!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a participant of Work and Travel program in the USA. And i visited the concert of my favorite band Coldplay! I can't even describe how amazing and unforgettable it was.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a Russian person i can teach how to cook traditional dishes in my country, for example panckaces or Russian salad. If somebody would like to know more about Work&Travel program, i will tell my story about it and how to take a part. We can speak about sport and how to be effective in the gym. It's just a few examples :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think that every person has a special background and experience which could be interesting for other people. I'm a communicative person and i can tell a lot of stories about my life. In my opinion it's important if you want to have a strong connection with a person. And I prefer sending a gоod vibes to society.
P.S. I will compliment my host with a Russian gift, it's for sure:)
