Hi! My name is Yaroslava, if you are Asian it should be easier for you to use my nickname Yasya ✌🏼 if you are from the West or from the East, sorry,it's gonna be hard to pronounce! I live in Moscow and work as a journalist. As a daily routine I try to deal with German, Italian and Spanish languages and kickboxing. Some years ago I was spending hours in the museums and cinema, but now I prefer the gym and cinema at home. However I am still in love with visual art and I remember a lot about it. I adore listening to people who can share with me their knowledge about any kind of art. I am a passionate theatre-goer as well. I can discuss it endlessly! Modern drama truly inspires me, come to my homeland and I take you to the best drama places we have. If you don’t like theatre, well, no problem, I’ll show you everything you’d like to see in Moscow with a great pleasure. PS. Dear couchsurfers, NB for me it’s not a dating site.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all, I don’t look for a casual hookup or a free bed here. I consider this social media as a perfect tool to get the benefits of globalization meeting new people and their culture and sharing mine as well. My trips usually look like a mix of visiting dead men monuments and museums, trying to know new facts about the places as much as it possible with the help of the locals and having some rest from the daily routine. A perfect Couchsurfing acquaintance for me means to find an intelligent and easy to go person, to walk around a bit, to cook together while having a smart discussion on politics, culture, social issues, having drinks in the evening or jogging in the morning. Usually it leads people to a new friendship, and then they visit each other from time to time. I really adore and enjoy these things.
