Hey there! My name is Irina and I was born in Syktyvkar, Russia. I'm a young spirited traveler who is just starting out and looking for adventure. My dream is to travel around the world. I'm good at rock, mountain and ice climbing, hiking, kayaking, paragliding and ski - I love it so much. I'm not good at english , but I strongly believe we will be able to understand each other :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna learn how to be a backpack traveler and make new friends around the world.
I believe that to get acquainted with another city,the country is better to start with the locals. No one is better acquainted with the local culture and customs than the people living in this country
I'm pretty new to the surfing thing, but have had some really great hosts so far and can't wait to meet more interesting people.
