Hey! I am Olya, passionate about traveling, art and politics, literature and music. Right now in Florence for two weeks to study painting during the day and draw in the evening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I think for the reasons most people are ;D. : a place is always much more interesting when told about by a local and people who are met on the way a special memory, which makes a travel much more valuable.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to write here! :D but I would love to talk to you about that when we meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying on a parachute attached to a boat, together with my over 70 years old grandma.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to hear stories, as well as tell some. Also, I would love to exchange tricks and inspiration about drawing and painting. I speak German and Russian natively and you can practice one of them if you like, but I would also love to learn and practice other languages, especially Spanish and French. Overall, there are so many things I'd love to learn and I am sure that every person has so much to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Long conversations and cooking. And a thank-you drawing :D.
