I'm a journalist and documentary producer, our last big project is about Amazonian tribes, you can check it out here https://amazonasproject.com/. In the past, I used to work in the refugee mission in Moscow. So, i'm always interested in charity and social programs. Usually, we making our documentaries with my husband Alexander https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/san4esok. Actually he is a great couchsurfer, not like me. ) So usually at the Couchsurfing, we are trying to find locals who can explain to us local culture, and what's really going on.

Like all travelers, I love to learn new things, meet new people. I love nature and culture of other countries. But most of all I like authentic places, where you can find the native life, the current culture, the current reality of the country. I don't really like sightseeing, for me it is more important to find something really unique from modern history or everyday life.

So, it's my current mission. I don't know what will be next years, but keep in touch!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used couchsurfing many times, but almost all were from the account on my boyfriend. And the experience was completely amazing! So, we are planning to do it forward. ) And we like to host people from other countries in Moscow, it is always incredible.
