Bonjour! Last time I used couchsurfing was 6 years ago! good to be back, the world is so much different however

My name's Misha, I'm 26 years old. I fled Russia in 2022 due to risks of political prosecution, I was involved with a political opposition as well as independent media, I even was interviewed by such TV-channels as CNN, Deutsche Welle, Bloomberg. Myself I have a substantial social media following (more than 350k followers) and I was speaking out against the war publicly, which is not making it safe to stay.

So, since then I have lived in Georgia, Serbia, Argentina, and Indonesia, where I'm based right now. Before that, I studied in the USA for a year, and did volunteering in India, visited many European countries as well.

Except for politics (I do have a political science degree after all), I'm interested in psychology and self-improvement. I live an active life, try to do sports, connect with people, do what excites me. Love listening to podcasts (My favorite: diary of a CEO).

My earning comes from my blogs, where I write about whatever I find interesting. One of my biggest hobbies is a social intellectual and psychological game "mafia" where 10 people have to figure who is mafia.

I'm interested in entrepreneurship, behavioural and social sciences, mindfulness practices, cultural debates, innovation, good tv-shows, exploring new, being open-minded and pursuing interest rather than happiness.

My favorite books include the ones that explain human behavior and how to change it from a scientific point of view. I also studied as a life coach a bit:)
