Hey there! I’m Alina 🌍
Born and raised in Vladivostok, Russia—a city where East meets wild—I’ve been bitten by the travel bug since I was young. Over the years, I’ve backpacked across Europe, soaking up its history and quirks, and now I’ve called New York City home for the past four years. Let me show you my NYC: the hidden coffee shops, the buzzing art scenes, and of course, my favorite museums (I’ll happily geek out over exhibits with you!).

Fun fact: My solo adventures always seem to circle back to Paris—there’s something about its crooked cobblestones and moody cafés that keeps me coming back. If you’re heading there, let’s swap stories and tips!

When I’m not wandering galleries or hunting for the perfect croissant, you’ll find me curled up with a classic novel (Dostoevsky or Woolf, anyone?), rewatching cult horror films (yes, I’ll dare you to join me for a midnight screening!), or volunteering at animal shelters. Bonus points if you’re into theater—Broadway, off-Broadway, or even a quirky underground play, I’m there.
