Overview
About Me
Hey, I’m a solo female traveler🎒💃. Currently settled down in Georgia, can’t get enough of this wonderful country.
I’ve studied in the U.S. and graduated from the university in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
I’m willing to explore various cultures, cuisine, nature spots and life in general.
Update: Recently I’ve started hosting female travelers as I am willing to help women in solo traveling. I have experienced all the challenges of female solo traveling on my own and I want to contribute to the society specifically in this aspect. I don’t host guys as I am not quite comfortable with male presence in my space, please, respect it🙏
P.S. I don’t make any exceptions and I don’t respond to male requests as it means that you didn’t even read my profile, so you won’t even see this explanation😁 I am not looking for a date and happy with my partner. I am a working woman and I value my time, make it simpler for both of us🙌🏼
At the same time, I am willing to engage with CS activities and meetings if you are not trying to use it as an excuse for something mentioned above.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Unique experience! I love people, that’s what make your trips special. Honestly, I feel super lucky to be a part of this incredible community. It is an amazing opportunity to listen to people’s stories, learn their cultures as well as tell about my own and even teach my native language.
Interests
I’m a pescatarian and love nature🌻I’m fond of environmentalism and against animal cruelty.
Travelling around the world is my passion, so this year I’m going to explore Asia (already started with Central Asia) and then we will see!By the way, if you are willing to travel with me, just let me know. I’m always open to new opportunities and believe in kindness and peace☮️🕊
I also have an Instagram, if you want to make sure that I am real haha. 🌸@artileriza

Teach, Learn, Share
Learning to live to the full and enjoy the process as well as the results
I can teach you positive thinking and how to trust people, but I guess that’s the main value of Couchsurfing:) And, of course, cooking, especially my national vegetarian dishes, that’s my passion, for sure!
