About Me

Hello! I am from Belarus. My name is İarina.

If you used CS a lot, you know how exhausting and annoying to answer one million time the same questions. But also maybe you know, how it feels, when people asking something really private in first meeting. Let's carry about each other, speak about something simple, but not boring.

From October till March I can not host people. İn Belarus o can hang out with a pleasure.

October 2025: Turkey
November 2025: hopefully Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia
Winter 2025-2026: Belarus
April 2026: hopefully Montenegro
Winter 2026-27: hopefully Iran

I hope from April 2026 till September I can host people again.

In case, it will happen:

***The house will be small, perhaps one room. If you are looking for better comfort, it is better to look for another place and save my contact information for emergency purposes.

1)Take off your shoes before coming home. Not using a street shoes at home.
2)Bring some food for all of us. It can be something simple without pork, but not fast food and not pasta/pizza.
3) couchsurfing is not a tinder, please, if you are looking forward, use other apps for it.
4) I can provide at list accommodation. If I will have time, I can hang out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
