Hi everyone!

My name is Sveta, I am 27 years old and I make people fall in love with wine!

I graduated from one of the best wine schools in Russia and work as a wine expert. I love traveling and learning new things. I have a small dog, a very kind and well-mannered Jack Russell Terrier Teddy, he is 2 years old.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last year I and my dog lived together for 8 months in Turkiye. Now we want adventure again, so I decided to finally use couchsurfing, although I have been registered on this site for a very long time. I have a remote job, so I want to spend 2024 in different places, meeting new people and exploring different cultures.

Interests

I love organizing wine tastings, showing the differences between wines from different grape varieties and countries. For me, wine is not just a drink, but a symbiosis of geography, biology and history.
I like meeting new people. Because everyone is unique and I learn a lot of new things about this world. I also enjoy long walks with my dog.
