Hi, I’m Daria 🙃

I was born in Kazakhstan, spent most of my life in Russia, and have Bulgarian roots from my great-grandmother. Right now, I’m in the process of getting my Bulgarian passport.

Most of my life I’ve lived in a small city in Siberia - Irkutsk.
In winter it’s usually about -30-35C, and it lasts from November till April approximately. But it’s worth to say, that there is much sunlight there in Irkutsk. Summer is pretty good and hot also. It’s about +30-35C. But it’s really short, just several months. It happens sometimes that there might be snowing in June. Of course it melts in several hours, but still.

The gorgeous part of all of these are that Irkutsk is really close to lake Baikal - the deepest unsalted lake in the world. You can drink water right while you swim. Btw water in summer is only about 20-23C. It’s cold, but really transparent and tastes delicious. I really miss the taste of this water.
In winter you can skate and ice is really transparent, you can see the bottom

For the past three years, I’ve been living in Asia, first on Phuket, and now on Bali.

Traveling is my biggest passion, but not in the “tourist” way. I prefer deep travel, discovering a country through its people, culture, and daily life. I love connecting with locals, hearing their stories, and seeing places from a genuine, inside perspective. I believe the best part of every journey is the people you meet along the way.

I’m deeply connected to nature, the ocean and the mountains are my happy places. I love hiking, surfing, and scuba diving.
I’m also into motorsports and I’m planning to join a track day at the Mandalika circuit, where MotoGP races take place.

I try to live consciously and sustainably. I don’t consume more than I need, I reuse things whenever possible, and I sort my waste. I care about the planet, and I believe small daily actions matter.

I’m calm, open-minded, and easy to get along with. I enjoy meaningful conversations, shared laughter, and spontaneous adventures. For me, good energy and mutual respect are everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be a traveler, not a tourist. I want to explore county from within
