About Me

Hi everyone

I’m a usual girl who works in an office.
Seems that love for new experiences motivates me for new trips again and again. While I’m getting older, my trips are getting “wilder” – instead of European hotels I stay in a tent in the middle of nowhere (sometimes surrounded by bears). Sometimes I freeze on a boat and have seasickness, but I love it no less than a dinner with friends at a fancy restaurant.

I travel across Russia a lot, and our Route community (you can find some pictures on Instagram) just stimulates this. We can try surfing in a Pacific ocean, organize a small gallery in an abandoned bunker on an Island in the Barents Sea, or have a Halloween party in an old factory.

Usually, I travel with my friends, so I’m a rare guest on Couchsurfing.

First time I used Couchsurfing was in China almost 10 years ago, it was a great experience and I really appreciate these people for help. I realized how important it is when someone shows you around in a new place, especially when you can’t understand any word or sign because of the language. After that trip, I also joined Moscow greeter’s community)

Unfortunately, I can’t remember facts properly, that’s why I won’t tell you the history of the Moscow Kremlin or cathedrals, I can’t discuss Russian literature. Travelling for me is about feelings – stunning views, amazing sunsets, delicious food, good wine, nice music and maybe local dances)

Hope the information above will be enough to plan a hangout.
If I’m looking for a place to stay, I promise to be quiet and to keep it clean and tidy.
Usually, I don’t host people I'm not acquainted with, but if we already know each other it will be a pleasure to invite you for a few days and show you around.
