I was born in Uzbekistan during the Soviet Union time. My parents were Russians. When the Union fell apart we went back to Russia in 1995, I was 15. I found that I did not belong to Russia, but still, I was not Uzbek too. This left me with a hunger for travelling and exploring. In 2008 I moved to Australia for good. Found my home here. Gave birth to my beautiful daughter. Made many good friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
