About Me

Hi there, I am a Russian professional living in Cyprus willing to explore the whole world.
I've got a wonderful husband Anton and since 2014 we've been traveling together most of the time. We are both very much into sports. Anton is a basketball player and I am a fond of Cross Fit and Functional Training.
Previously we had an amazing couchsurfing experience traveling together with my husband around Asia, Europe and the USA and we really loved it. We met a lot of nice people on our way, who gave us some tips on traveling, showed us places and hosted us in their homes and some of them have become very good friends of ours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don’t have a purpose to make friends all over the world, but I like to meet new people and to know more about their ways of living. I am here more for the experience itself and for the opportunity to discover new places, try local food, learn about other cultures, religions and traditions

Interests

- I love sports and I always try to find some time to go to a gym even though I have a pretty busy schedule. - I enjoy good food, I always kin to try something new (Thai food is my favorite). - I really love learning languages. Even though I can communicate fluently on only 3 languages - Russian, English, Spanish (my Spanish is getting rusty though), there are 5-6 other different languages I’ve learnt, I can understand and have a basic conversation on. - My biggest passion (after my husband) is traveling, there are about 70 countries in my list of countries I've visited so far, and I dream to visit many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Sleeping 70 days in a tent whilst traveling around South America.
- Tough Mudder Run.
- A sky-diving jump from 15000 feet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some Russian dishes during my stay, as well as share my traveling stories. We can go for a morning run together if you are up to it. (It's a good way to discover places as well). And as any Russian, I never come to people's home empty- handed, so pleas don't be shy and help me to choose a gift for you (Russian vodka, a tin of red caviar, sweets, souveneer, etc, just tell me ... )
