I was born and grew up in Moscow. In 2012 I left my home country and since then I am travelling the world non-stop. So far I visited around 60 countries.

I try to live healthily. For this I don't drink alcohol or take any intoxicants, practice yoga on the body and mind level, I am vegetarian and try to live a very active lifestyle - workouts, trekking, lots of walking, running.

I believe that whatever we have in our lives - is the result of our own choice. Whatever we choose today - this way we define our future. Thus, I strongly believe that every choice has to be very conscious.

I work remotely, have my own online business, a small translation agency, which employs travellers like me, who work remotely and travel around the world.

'Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law' - this is said by Buddha and something I truly believe in.

I travel the world not to count countries or to make new beautiful pictures for instagram. I travel the world to step out of my comfort zone, gather new experiences and to realize that we all have the same common essence - we want to be happy. It doesn't matter what country, what colour, what religion we are. I respect them all as I try to see into the essence again - which is one. I believe that all borders are in our heads only. I also believe that to change it, the best way is to start with oneself. That's what I am trying to do every day.

I consider myself a truly happy person. ' All the suffering there is in this world arises from wishing our self to be happy. All the happiness there is in this world arises from wishing others to be happy.' - I have checked that on my own experience to understand that it is true.

I love serving people. I mostly do it through Sunsurfers community, but also try to find other ways.

I sincerely believe that money is not what makes us rich. Time is the most precious thing we have and here everyone is equal - we all have 24 hours a day. The way we choose to spend them - that's what makes us happy, wise and rich.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because I believe that it is a beautiful way to connect to local people and make travelling truly meaningful by learning about local culture, traditions and non-touristic places through local people. I

兴趣

教，学，和分享

I can teach everything I experienced myself to learn it that leads to happiness or suffering :)

To be more specific:
- travelling independently and solo, if you are a woman
- working remotely
- calming down your mind to seek happiness within
- treating you vehicle (body) good, so it serves you well to fulfill the above :)
- awareness in the relationships
- how to be very effective, but to keep the balance

I can teach (more down to earth):
- Russian
- English
- Surfing to begginers
- Workouts you can do while travelling
