About Me

Hey! I've been registered here for many-many years, even participated in CS Meetings and have a bunch of CS-friends. However, never had a place on my own to host travellers and never actually used an option to find a host through the webite)
So, it's quite clear why the profile looks empty.. But I am, honestly, a very nice person, super international and open minded! Last 3 years I've been living basically in my suitcase, moved to another country every 6-7 months - so did become a local in England, Finland, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Norway.. so far, it was the best experience in life!!

Since then I swore to myself never to stop travelling... not actually travelling, but living through moving and discovering!

Lately, I gained a little bit of stability, moved to Russia for a while. Live in Saint-Petersurg and work as an Export key account manager for CIS and Baltics countries in Spanish company. Lerning Spanish, so would be glad to practice it with any possibility)

Who I am as a guest?
Positive, not demanding at all, used to sleep on the road for many times) always poor, happy and with the backpack :) Flexible and rules respecting!

Would be glad to meet you and, what's important, to host you in Saint-Petersburg, too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, back in 2013 when I registered, I was full of ideas to meet wanderers, who are walking around the globe and gathering stories! So I could lern from them)

Today I basically became one, but still hungry for those wanderers and their stories!

Admire to wake up in tent, get lost in the mountains, don't feel my frozen fingers, you know what I mean, right?)

Last from the read book si about transurfing reality or so, very interesting and it meaningful, when you start applying it on your life) recommended 100%!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
