Old school Couchsurfer. I was previously an Ambassador and one of the early users. Haven’t used it for some time and I feel like I miss it. I miss the experience of meeting amazing diverse people and sharing stories, discovering how people live and what locals do.

I am open-minded, easy going and curious person, always happy to try new things 🙂

I love good conversations, dogs, sailing, ski touring, outdoor, good food, and sharing stories and experiences! I enjoy equally old dusty parts of the city and trendy restaurants/bars, adore museums and art galleries of any sort, architecture turns me on and nature is my second home. Up for hiking, city cycling tours or MTB and just walk and talk.

Lived in China, Belarus, France, Australia and now live in the US (📍San Francisco)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted as much as I could. I love being a guest, discovering new cultures and places from inside, meeting authentic and very interesting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have started almost 15 years ago :) I had it all, from grumpy Moscow "sleep of the floor" experience to "here is the key, please feed the cat" in the center of Berlin. I made a lot of friends on the way as well.

Musica, film e libri

I love Jazz most of the time. And other styles for different mood or situation. For example, I love something more active for skiing or old French music for cozy evenings.

Bookworm. Love art, architecture, old French movies.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

💁‍♀️Moved alone to China at the age 21 and survived :-)
