Hello dear travellers and hosts around the world! I am Lilia and I am a traveller (yes, it is a diagnosis!) I left corporate life 4 years ago (PM, latest project at Airbus) first to become a furniture restorator (check ✅), later to become a life coach (check ✅) and a psychologist (in progress 🔰).

Having re-designed my professional life to be online, I am finally making my big move - a great nomad adventure (or as my mom calls it - being homeless 😂). I have started in Europe (Spain, Portugal, Albania this fall) and will see where life brings me after.

I am looking for awesome hosts along my path who share my passion for life! I am a heap of stories and weird skills, social but respectful of boundaries, neat and tidy, great cook and a tireless hiking companion. My only “must have” is a fast wifi (as my work and studies require my almost daily presence at least for few hours).

Yes, I am new here, hence no reviews so I am looking for the brave ones to be my guides into the Couchsurfing world 😁 In the meantime, I left half of my life’s story in pictures! 📸

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with people I would hardly cross paths with, observing the natural habitat of world citizens, having local experiences, visiting places I might miss without you being there, bypassing global hotel chains and having a bigger budget to actually do stuff - that’s why!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a furniture restorator so I love sharing my passion on this subject! Philosophy, religion, nutrition, alternative ways of healing and medicine, online marketing (I blog and hence study social media marketing on the side), ways of living in different countries (I lived for 1+ years in Sweden, UK, Russia and Germany).

Language exchange for above mentioned languages will be my pleasure!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very knowledgeable in astrology and a very specific type of numerology that not only will help you understand yourself better but also help to maximize your strengths and help deal with the “downside” of your number. It once changed my life and I love sharing this knowledge with people!

Apart from my social and cooking skills I can help you organize your space - I am freak for systematization of stuff! I LOVE de-cluttering and will gladly teach you my top secrets!

I am a life coach who help people make important changes in life, get new perspectives for old issues, a calm and unstoppable mind, motivation to grow and achieve things they tent to leave for “tomorrow”. I can certainly help you meet some other sides of “you” that you’ll be excited about.

I love renovating and building spaces, designing unique solutions and decorating. I have a sharp eye for design, antiques and love mixing styles and creating beautiful spaces! I would love to help with your project! Having a background in PM - I am as good in budgeting your project as in designing it!

I can help you with your garden (I love growing things), walking your dog or stay away from your cat 😁, entertain your kids when you need a break!

Last but not least, I am a furniture restorator. There are limited things that can be done outside of a workshop and without tools but some basic, and furniture care so that it serves you many years to come or an advise of what should be done in the workshop if your favorite pieces need some extra love right now!
