Hi! I’m Alya, originally from Russia ( Siberia❄️) but living in Lisbon for the past 3 years.
I love exploring new places and meeting new people. Nature and the ocean inspire me, and I’m really into swimming. Yoga also keeps me grounded.

I work as a psychotherapist, in Russia worked as a doctor.
I’m curious about people’s stories and enjoy deep conversations as much as spontaneous fun.
For me Couchsurfing is a way to connect, share experiences, and feel at home anywhere in the world.

Interests

Yoga, swimming

Communities and festivals
I love the atmosphere of creativity and freedom there.
In Portugal I’ve been to Goat and Boom, and one of my dreams is to experience Burning Man one day.
