Heya! I'm Natalya, but you can call me Talya. I'd love to make your acquaintance!

Now that's out of the way, about me:
I am 21, have 7 siblings, and have lived in 4 countries. I'm, unfortunately, monolingual. But I am working on changing that ASAP.
I currently work as a freelance software developer, working on changing my business into an agency, but that seems a little way off at the moment. Either way, if you need some tech support while I'm visiting I will be happy to help!
I'm a bit of a travel fiend and am working on becoming a true digital nomad. I am a bit of a minimalist (where "bit" read "extreme"), so don't be surprised if I turn up with a single small bag!
I'm tentatively starting out as a filmmaker, testing the waters before taking the plunge on some decent camera gear. I love cinema and could happily spend every spare minute watching movies and talking about them with friends.
I am a recent vegan convert, so any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and exploring the culture of new places. So, I am here to make friends, have fun, and make memories!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am currently working on that!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't particularly know what I am qualified to teach, but I would love to help you in any way I can.

At the moment I would really like help learning languages! I am just starting my journey, but could use any help you can give!

I'd love to share my love of movies and food! And if there is anything I can help you with in terms of technology, I would love to share my skills!

I have lots of experience with a large variety of technologies. So if you need tech support I would be extremely happy to help!
