Hey, I'm Lena. An engineer on paper, a journalist in soul and a salesperson in reality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because surfers always have their own interesting stories.

I find it inspiring to communicate with people from all over the world with different mentalities, habits and ways of life. Behind every Big First Trip - there is always a reason - so yeah, my interest is in meeting great people and finding out how they've transformed from tourists into travelers.

Besides that I also like to share what's interesting around in my city/country. But usually it's vice versa :) I think I know a lot but then I catch up with a CSurfer and just rediscover Moldova.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm more into russian rock music - 'Bi 2' are definitely the best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosted my first guest via CS.
Upd 2023: had my first solo travel-escape.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm taking bachata lessons and keep thinking I'm good at it - so happy to teach you some basic steps.

As I like stories - I also like telling them. If we've met, most probably you'll hear something like "once upon a time there was a great king... and this is how Chisinau was created". I like adding some legends into my walk-around-city-hangouts.
