You could call me Sasha.
I like spontaneous travelling and activities. I am a city nerd, which means that with all my professional interest I always strive to explore development sites, public spaces and architecture. But also adore nature and could walk in a forest for hours.
I'm married and occasionally travel with my husband and our small dog (zwergschnauzer), non-smoking nor consume other substances :) Prefer to keep my good mood without add-ons.

I am not always able to host people, but you welcome to give it a shot.

If you ask to stay, write BAMM in the first line of the request, and I will know that you have read the basics :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just tried it once and now think that this community encourage a great culture of sharing. I visited hidden gems with locals and enjoyed spontaneous activities I would never think of myself.
This is a great way to travel more, visiting different places which I would probably won't visit without a great CS hospitality. For me, it's also an opportunity to make new contacts, and I find it fun.

Interests

I've been dancing for 19 years and I especially interested in contemporary dance. Also, interested in everything related to architecture and urban development. I enjoy walking around cities with no purpose and observe.
I like outdoor activities. With a pleasure, I can ride a bike or walk several kilometers by feet.
Visiting other cities, I would be both glad to visit a museum and nightclub to burn the floor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped into the lake to get rid of water fear and went kayaking with one of my hosts at CS for the first time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you cooking some simple Russian dishes, share a bunch of stories and give travel tips.
I would be glad to learn any foreign language/kitchen/lettering.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Places to visit in/around my city, give advice on trips around the country, or share a professional and personal experience. Cook some meal, hold a pleasant conversation, just make a pleasant company.
If you stay at my home, I can provide pillow and some cover, towels, kitchen and bath. If you like dogs, mine will most likely sleep nearby or in your feet.
