I'm Zoya, I'm 61 years old. I love nature, I do yoga, fitness, I like to communicate with people of different cultures, ages, different nationalities ...I like philosophical talk about the destinies of the world, about life, about the prospects for the development of human civilization. I'm sure that the future of the planet depends on everyone who lives now. I like the project Venus Jacques Fresco.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know new places and new people.

I visited 15 times in India before. Now I want to start traveling around the European countries.

Finland is the country closest to me in terms of natural conditions and culture - this is the reason why I'm looking for friends in Suomi.

Glad to meet new faces! Hello, the magnificent country of Suomi! Hello my new friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am proud that I first went on a trip when I was already over 50 years old.
And it was a trip to India, alone, without speaking in English.

I drove with a backpack on the shoulders across India from Delhi to the southern point - Kanyakumari.

I had a very limited budget, I used public transport, I slept in the cheapest hotels, I ate spicy Indian food ..
But I coped with this task, I won the fear of being alone and go to an unknown country in Asia.

I met many people, and some of them helped me with information about the country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help people with advice on how to travel correctly in India. I can make a good route, tell which places to visit better how to eat properly, where it is better to live in India. I've been to the Himalayas a lot.
I can teach yoga and fitness classes.

I can professionally teach the Russian language, because my specialty is a teacher.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a one-bedroom apartment and a cottage. I can take my guests in my summer home.
