“Live simply bloom wildly”

I'm a Russian language teacher and curious soul who believes real connection matters more than perfection. Having walked the Camino twice and hosted 60+ travelers, I value spaces where people feel safe to be themselves - whether that's in the classroom, my home or while exploring new places.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I love the idea of Couchsurfing and fully share its values. In most cases I host people and find it to be a great way to broaden my horizons and worldview. I also had a very good experience being hosted through Couchsurfing.

I firmly believe that traveling, fostering connections, building trust, showing kindness, and having a genuine desire to learn from one another all contribute to personal growth and make the world a better place.
