Hey, I’m Mariia.

I was born in the Soviet Union, of Russian-Ukrainian-Georgian origin, since 19 I started a nomad life, got educated in University of Lapland (Finland) and UCL (UK), where I discovered my passion for making friends from different cultures.

Working on impact venture in the intersection of neuroscience and tech. Beyond work, I enjoy immersing myself in nature, practicing yoga and a chat over the tea from Baikal Lake plant.

Surely, Couchsurfing is far more than just travel aid — it’s about serendipity and letting life connect you with amazing people!
