Hi! My name is Zhargalma, originally from Buryatia in Siberia, Russia. My family and I belong to a small indigenous ethnic group, and we are proud to share our unique cultural heritage. We now live in the beautiful mountain city of Da Lat, Vietnam, where I moved less than a year ago with my husband and our little son.

I’m curious, reflective, and open to meaningful conversations. I love exploring philosophy, psychology, and different cultures. My husband is passionate about data analysis and new technologies, while our son keeps us playful and creative every day.

We believe in kindness, respect, and sharing — values that make the world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For us, Couchsurfing is more than a place to stay — it’s a way to connect with people worldwide. We’d love to meet travelers who are open-minded, respectful, and curious about other cultures.
