About Me

Born in St.-P. Grew up in the Arctic.

Self-sufficient disaster lady with a positive attitude and negative income that is a little bit alienated from reality.
I believe that a human should live without straining, do what a person likes to do and blah blah blah.

Non-discriminative, non-judgmental.

Grew up in a small town in the Russian Arctic. It was a place where leisurely walking you could face with an atomic submarine without being surprised. When I was 12 I learned how to fire a gun. At 21 I tried with a shotgun. I'm carrying out a Swiss knife (because of a corkscrew).

Don't take it too serious, people say I'm funny

I used to work in different spheres connected with travelling: tour guide assistant, visa manager, guest relations agent in 5* hotel. Currently I'm fundraiser in one charity project devoted to orphans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the spirit of people who travel, suggest sharing stories about adventures to know the world from other people perspective as well. And, you know that it is not only you who travel but a person who shows the city does it as well.

And, yes, sometimes people should to leave their comfort zone and to check if they trust the world :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just for fun participated in a model casting held in another country. There I accidentally caused fancy chicks' ambiguous reaction (Because I passed of course)

However, I have more significant achievements. I'm just humble.
