Hello! My name is Katya, but you can call me Kate :)

I’m 27 years old, and I travel together with my husband, Dima. We’re originally from Barnaul, a city in Siberia, Russia.

Travel is a big part of our lives, we’ve explored many beautiful places around Russia, and now we’re continuing our journey through Southeast Asia. At the moment, we’re discovering Thailand, with plans to head to Malaysia next. We prefer hitchhiking, because damn, it's fun.

Back home we have two lovely cats who we miss a lot — happy to share their photos if you’re into cats 🐾

We enjoy good conversations, sharing travel stories, and just spending time with interesting people. We’d love to hear about your adventures and, of course, share our own experiences too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a cool opportunity to get to know people around the world, of course.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Hitchhiked through Dagestan, stayed for a night in a small local village, it was amazing.

- In Teriberka, in the rain, I reached the edge of the land, after which there was only the ocean (and North Pole).

- Gonna meet New Year on Ko Pha-ngan :)
