Hi! ✌🏻

I'm 37 years old psychotherapist and a keen traveller. For about six years I work as a practicing psychotherapist, spent hours at hot line and then - in psychiatric clinic (thankfully, as a psychologist, not the patient). 😼 have been working in journalism / PR / marketing previously and during these years managed to acquire great experience of being glossy magazine editor, PR manager and even posh party producer 🔥.

Thankfully now I’m free of any main bad habits such as smoking nor drinking, shopaholics still remains so I may not be as prune as may seem. 🤪 Spending time in a good company, to me, is one of the most precious things in life, still I prefer not exceed the limits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the best opportunity to meet people, get to know cross cultural differences and flourish my world! Besides, I'd love to learn the recipes pf multinational cuisine, get a lot of adventures and make dozens of photos

Interests

Psychotherapy, Buddhism, meditation, travelling (trekking 😍), people, yoga, other sports (pool, gym), photography (beginner but feel like this is my real love), PR and marketing (still think that it’s hard to get rid of dozen years of experience), cooking (and trying to feed folks around).
