Hey everyone!

I'm Kristina or Kris if you'd like, originally from Russia, St Petersburg.
Side note: hablo espanol pero me da pereza traducir el texto :) en la vida real hablo sin problema

I'm a cheerful person passionate about movement and meeting new people. I work remotely, spent two last winters in Colombia and now I’m in Belgrade building future plans.

Previously I've travelled a lot for vacation and also worked as a group trips tour-leader; did a Trans-Mongolian train trip 9 times with my tourists and it was AMAZING.

Some things I absolutely love:

dancing salsa (and dancing in general)
water (swimming, jumping from cliffs, waterfalls, rivers, sea)
nature (hiking but only when it's about pleasant walk not a cross-fit workout)
movement in general (I play tennis, do yoga and up for more activities)
brunches and breakfasts
concerts and live music
cute coffee spots
talking (especially in Spanish but also in French, English, Russian)

Some things I don't like:
hiking (if it's a demanding hike)
staying home for too long (COVID was the hardest time for me)

If you think we share the vibe and want to hang out let me know :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I hugged a koala in Australia. And jumped of 8-meter cliff in Turkey :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to speak Spanish, French, English as well as teach you some russian if you'd like to.

Happy to share stories how is it like to travel the Transsiberian railway (yes, 7 days on a train), why Mongolia is amazing and anything related to my culture as well.
