Hi there, I’m Daria, born in Russia, raised in Germany, global citizen for the last 5 years. I adore cats, love ice cream and Cape Town, have a Scuba diving license, hate onions, am vegetarian, practice yoga every day and am an entrepreneur and coach. Used to have a big job in the corporate world and decided that life is too short for that.

I speak many languages… none of them is Spanish, sadly. But would love to learn more! Drawing is my heart’s language.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a full time nomad and I realized that connection is what actually matters across all cultures. Anonymous hotels and commercial Airbnbs are just soulless. I want to feel at home and really be part of someone’s nest.
