Hello PRIVET!

My name is Alyssa (Alice). Originally from Moscow. Rn in Asia. I like horses, filming, visiting art exhibitions, learning new languages, listening to people stories, opening the world, and much more!

I love to see people living. I love to walk in non-touristic places. Just observe. Dogs in the park, people doing ordinary activities, little shops, music playing anywhere, nature, if I’m lucky enough I like to see spaces people create for themselves (aka home) and how they play with their personalities.

Kind of lost myself at the moment so I decided to leave my job and go on a trip to visit places, and listen to people’s stories and thoughts. Thrilled to see where it’ll take me🙂

In September I’ll need to go back for exams at the university but before it I want to travel as long as I can.
My plans usually change with a speed of light, sometimes even I can’t follow and simply go with the flow🤪 I never really took a big risk, so I guess it’s time to start. I don’t really have a plan for my adventure🫡

Usually I’m not a kind of person who wake up at 7 o’clock and rushing to all the museums in one day. But I am willing to take that 2 hour bus ride just for the beautiful view.

Sometimes I sleep on the streets 🙆🏻‍♀️

Hope to see ya✌🏻

Music, Movies, and Books

My top artists: Agust D, Mac Miller, Troye Sivan, 비티에스, started to enjoy Lana Del Rey recently
Russian music: rock from 90-10 (especially Korol i Shut), ic3peak (experimental), boulevard depo (hip hop)

I listen to any language, pretty much any genre. I like to understand the lyrics, that’s why most of my playlists are in English
I looooove music from Studio Ghibli movies, always makes me feel something 👀

Movies: studio ghibli😂, call me by your name, inside job (Netflix), they live 1988, I like to watch kids cartoons on languages I don’t know😅
Sometimes I might end up watching Kardashians Show😶

I usually forget what I was reading about💀 The most recent books I’ve read were by Emil Cioran and Stephen Hawking. But do I remember? Nope..
But I for sure can challenge my brain and read to you some poetry in russian

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a horse truck for 1,5 month, does it count?🥹

A road trip Moscow -> Kazakhstan-> Tashkent, Uzbekistan -> Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, and back with horses

Crossed streets in Uzbekistan

Slept on the streets of Asia few times

Was scammed for my last 1.000$ while on a trip 😶‍🌫️ (I also didn’t have any working card since all of them are under the sanctions)

Solo travel with backpack in Asia

Teach, Learn, Share

I think it'll be great if you could tell me about the culture of ur country and something about the place you are living. And I will be very happy to tell you about Russia, too! Oh and I can help you to learn you some phrases in Russian language :p
I am also quite passionate about horses, so if you are interested I am happy to share it.
I like to cook but when I cook not at my home or if I am nervous I might kill the kitchen, so I prefer not to experiment in your house. Only salads and fruits ✋🏻😅

What I Can Share with Hosts

My calm and positive energy🧘🏻‍♀️ I’ll try to help with anything I can. Might bring a gift from Moscow or something you want if you already visited it.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belarus, Egypt, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey, Uzbekistan
