My name is Nikita, I'm 22 years old, and I have been enjoying life in beautiful Prague for four years now. My passion for culinary arts has led me to work as a chef, where I create magic on plates. Previously, I lived in the small Italian town of Peschici, which was an amazing cultural immersion for me.

I love traveling and indulging in art in all its forms. Theaters, exhibitions, and art galleries are my favorite places where I draw inspiration for my creativity. Currently, I'm preparing to launch my first online gallery to share my paintings with the world.

My life is filled with diversity and opportunities, and I'm always open to new experiences and encounters. Prague inspires me with its architecture and history, and I cherish every moment spent here. I believe in self-expression and love for all, and I strive to make the world brighter and more beautiful through my creativity and openness.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I prefer Couchsurfing because of the unique opportunity to immerse myself in local culture. It’s not just about finding free accommodation but also about meeting real locals and hearing their stories about the city I’m visiting. I believe true travel is not just about sightseeing but also about connecting with the people who make a city vibrant and unique.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

One of the most thrilling and crucial decisions in my life was moving from Eastern Europe to Italy. I was only 17 years old when I packed my belongings and embarked on a 37-hour bus journey. During this time, I managed to find a job and accommodation in Italy because I had only one suitcase of belongings and absolutely no idea where I was going or where I would live. Upon arrival in Italy, the capital of art and culture, I faced new linguistic, cultural, and life challenges.

The first weeks and months were filled with adaptation and exploration of the new environment. I actively searched for work and housing, began learning Italian, and immersed myself in the local culture. My move was not only a geographical change but also a personal challenge that helped me grow and become more independent.

In Italy, I not only found new opportunities to develop professional skills but also immersed myself in the unique atmosphere of Italian culture. I traveled across the country, discovering its historical landmarks, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural heritage.

The three years I spent in Italy were a time of incredible adventures, valuable lessons, and unforgettable experiences. This experience changed my life, strengthened my adaptation skills and acceptance of new challenges, and taught me to appreciate cultural diversity and perspectives.
