My History
_______
I started travelling around the world by hitchhiking(autostop) from Moscow 16 sep 2016. So I visited around 30 countries including South America and South East Asia. I always try to get close to local people- I am really curious of diffrent cultures, traditions, food, art...just a way how people is living. I know how to say "thank you" on 25 languages and would like to get to know more! :)

ASIA
I paused my trip in Cambodia and about 2 years I spent in Koh Rong island. I worked like artist and hang out with people from all over the world. This expirience changed me a lot. Now I can free speak english and I enjoy this so much!
I became a Buddhist, also opened for myself meditation practice.

SOUTH AMERICA
Next chapter of my life started in South America. I explored jungles of Brazil and mysterious culture of Inca Empire. I took care of lamas in Shelter in Peru and learn how to serf.🏄‍♀️

I fall in love with Chile and spent my 2 years working and living there.
I could speak Spanish and could understand Portuguese.

I would love to know more places on the planet 🌎

And would like to meet much more new friends all over the world!

Hosting
_____
I love to host people, but most of requests I get from vk (Russian Facebook). So I don't get the official references. I hosted people in a several different countries and apartments, so the information is always changing. Sometimes it's a big flat sometimes just a tiny room. Because I don't have my own house I am moving all the time. But you are more than welcome as you could catch a moment while I am open as a host ☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, I like explore the countries from inside. I like to stay with local people and study some traditional things. CS - thats when one day you are in farm of milk with only cows around and next day in the villa of government guy with sauna and security.
I like when locals show me some nice "secret places" in their cities (not touristic). And every boring city can become interesting if you will meet the right people! Couchsurfing it's a good way to find friends from all over the world.

Español:

Me gusta conocer gente nueva, me gusta explorar los países desde el lado. Me gusta quedarme con la gente local y estudiar algunas cosas tradicionales. A veces la gente me muestra muy buenos "lugares secretos" en estas ciudades (no turísticos). ¡Y cada ciudad aburrida puede volverse interesante si conoces a las personas adecuadas! Couchsurfing es una buena forma de encontrar amigos de todo el mundo.
