Hi :) My name is Chayka. Originally I am from St.Petersburg, Russia.

RIGHT NOW I'M IN CHINA.

I do lots of different things. l am a song-writer and a singer. Really interested in good coffee and tea. I am keen on taking photos of people and the world, I like to travel and read books.

I live in Shanghai, but I rent a room in the shared apartment, so I'm not able to host you there. But I can walk with you if I have free time the day you are in the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and see new places.
I have my page here for several years, but actually I started to use Couchserfing just in 2017. And I really like the idea))
