My name is Yulia, I am a software developer from Irkutsk and I recently moved to Moscow. I am an easygoing and open-minded person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I registered here back in 2012, but started to use this site only around 2014. I had lived in the United States for a while (in San Diego, CA), and then had to go back to my city in Russia - Irkutsk. I really liked that you can easily meet all kinds of people from different countries in America, but in Irkutsk it was not like that. I had missed the opportunity to hang out with interesting people from all over the world and this is when this site came in handy. I used this site to meet people and I even tried to host some people when I had an opportunity. I loved this experience. I recently moved to Moscow and looking forward to exploring what there is in Couchsurfing in Moscow :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hm... I once went paragliding in Irkutsk and I rode all thrill rides in Magic Mountain near LA. Does that count?

And once I shaved my head bald and loved it :)

If you learn Russian, I can help you with that.

Unfortunately, I rent a room in an apartment and cannot host people now. But I think I will do it as soon as will get my own place :)
