Hi 🤍
My name is Yaroslava.

What I value most in life is people and deep, genuine human connection.
Travel, for me, is a way to experience this through real conversations and shared moments.

When I travel, I like to slow down and truly be present.
I enjoy exploring places on foot, noticing everyday life, and feeling the rhythm of where I am. Sometimes the journey leads me, sometimes we lead each other.

Home is always within me.
I feel comfortable in new places and easily adapt to different environments, while being respectful of how things are done in someone else’s home.

I value calmness, depth, and a natural rhythm of life. I enjoy slow mornings, meaningful conversations, simple routines, and a clear, peaceful atmosphere.
Я человек мира. Родилась в Германии, много лет жила в Греции и в России. Сейчас путешествую

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve learned to create a space of calm and support — for myself and for others.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m happy to share simple, homemade cooking — for example, how to prepare Greek moussaka or a classic Russian salad.

I can also share gentle ways to relax the body after a long day, such as simple neck and shoulder release techniques, if it feels appropriate and welcome.

Mostly, I enjoy sharing everyday life: calm presence, practical help, and small moments that make a shared space feel easy and comfortable.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Care, respect for shared space, and easy, friendly communication.
