About Me

We’re married couple / both software engineers / groupmates / best friends for almost 12 years.

Together with my husband, we've already explored Turkey (2 months), Sri Lanka, Georgia, Russia and Japan (2 weeks each), Europe: France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain (1 month bus and train trip).

🐈 We have a three-colored cat, Sunny.
🚲 Every weekend we cycle as part of our hobby (from 40 to 80 km).
🏕️ We are in love with camping and hiking, well-equipped for this.
🎲 Recently started playing board games almost on a weekly basis, played 50+ of them.

We aren't party persons (no night activities)
We don't smoke
We don't drink (Husband 🍻 🤏🏻 )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🚵🏻‍♀️As Travelers
We often felt a lack of communication with locals.

🛀🏻As Hosts
Due to our remote work, it would be cool to host surfers, a good replacement for colleagues 😅
Also it gives opportunity to bring the world to home, when you aren't travelling:)
