my name is Val, i am an international business student from Saint Petersburg, Russia. the plan is, i buy a van once i graduate from uni and set off to see the world. until then, i am to explore the beautiful of a planet the Earth is via plane and hopefully, with a little help of couch surfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i believe that the best way to explore the world around us is through meeting its citizens and learning about their journey. also, I'd love to make new friends.

Interests

i have been practicing yoga for 2 years now and leading a vegetarian diet since 2014 ( in December 2017, i became a full-time vegan). i am an eco-enthusiast who is desperately trying to integrate mindfulness and consciousness into everything she does.

i write a bit of poetry and play a bit of guitar. i film videos documenting my journey in life and take pictures. i love music, any genre of it, and i love hearing people play live, be it jazz performances or punk gigs.

my favourite part about going places is probably exploring their local businesses and searching for their hidden treasures (and oh how i love flea markets).
