About Me

ABOUT ME

Friendly, open-minded, honest and sometimes crazy.

I like traveling, meeting new people and old friends. I like horse-riding, scuba diving (AOWD) and recently I started to play tennis (still bad but very excited). Also like ice-skating so, if you come in the wintertime we can go skating together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new interesting people from different cultures

Please notice I'm not interested in any kind of love adventures, I'm married, so, please don't bother me with such requests. It's not a dating site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0GedtSb7pg

If you'd like to stay with us, please write a personal request and at least mention my name in it. Also, please remember that our place is not a free hostel. If you come to stay, be ready to spend a bit of time talking with us. If you prefer to arrive in the evening, sleep, and leave in the morning with no interaction, it would be better for you to look for another place to stay.

In the summer, we don't host on weekends because we usually go camping. If you're interested in camping with us, feel free to reach out!

If you are beginner and don't know how to write request this article will help you: https://support.couchsurfing.org/hc/en-us/articles/200640010-How-do-I-write-a-good-couch-request

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling 1 month around Europe by hitch-hiking without documents, phone, bank card and etc. (my bag was stolen in the very beginning of the trip), but with good friend. This changed my life and life of my friend - because of changes in our route she met her husband and few years later I met mine:) Both her and my husband were our hosts from cs.

And the most amazing place for me was Petra (Jordan) - if you ever have a chance to go there - use it!

Crazy horseriding up to Vesuvius.

Visited Marble Cathedral in Chile and Iguazu falls (Argentina/Brazil).

Got married with my host from CS.

Switzerland - the whole hitchhiking trip to this country was like a dream.

Scuba Diving.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - for sure Russian language, culture and cuisine.
Make shisha. Play some boardgames, basic skating.
