ABOUT ME

My name is Dasha. I'm from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I am a lead recruiter in an international IT company "EPAM Systems". I like my job and software developers :)
Well, I've visited 17 countries at the moment and I hope it's only the beginning of my traveling and learning new countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So, I already know about the platform a few years, but it seems to me a kind of risky experience. Finally, I've tried it in Brussels and... this story should be told, not written :)

Interests

I like playing volleyball and one of my hobbies is Brain Battle game (may be, you heard about Russian game "What? Where? When?").
Also, IT is my hobby too. Sure, I can't write code, however as a recruiter I should know a lot about the sphere and tools. And I've realized that a half of my friends are programmers, developers and so on :)
