Hi! My name is Raina. I’m originally from Azerbaijan, but I’ve been living in Dubai for the past few years. I absolutely love traveling, exploring new cultures, meeting interesting people, and sharing stories. I’m currently planning a trip across the USA and would love to connect with locals and fellow travelers.

I speak four languages fluently: Azerbaijani, Russian, Turkish, and English. This helps me feel comfortable in different countries and connect with people easily.

My hobbies include traveling, visiting historical sites and landmarks, enjoying culture and music and most of all, cooking! I genuinely love preparing delicious meals and sharing them with friends and guests.

I’m a warm, respectful, and open-minded person. I truly believe that the most precious part of any journey is the people you meet along the way.

Looking forward to great conversations, new friendships, and meaningful memories 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here because I believe that traveling is not just about places it’s about people. Couchsurfing is a unique way to meet locals, experience the real spirit of a city, and share cultures. I love learning from others, sharing my own world, and building genuine human connections.

Interests

I’m the kind of person who can get lost in a museum but find myself at a street food stall. I love traveling, exploring beautiful places, learning about cultures, laughing with new people, and collecting ways to say “thank you” in every language I hear.
Music, late-night talks, delicious food, and kids’ laughter (for work, not randomly 😄) that’s my vibe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I’ve done is leaving behind a comfortable life to move to a new country and start from scratch.
I now live in Dubai and work as a kids’ party entertainer and host it’s a fun, vibrant, and creative job that brings a lot of joy. At the same time, I keep traveling and discovering new places and cultures.
This choice completely transformed my life: it made me stronger, freer, and helped me find my true path while learning to enjoy every single moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing stories, insights about life in Dubai, Azerbaijani culture, and my personal experience of moving abroad.
I really enjoy talking about travel, languages, different cultures, and just having meaningful conversations.
If you’re interested, I’d be happy to teach you how to cook something delicious from Azerbaijani , Georgian and Russian cuisine!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my life experiences, stories about living in different countries, and tell you about culture. I also love cooking and would be happy to prepare a delicious homemade meal. I speak four languages and can teach you some fun words! I bring positive energy, warmth, and I’m always happy to help around the house or simply bring good vibes to the day.
