I live in the mountains in the south of Russia, about 50 km from the Black Sea. I’m currently working and studying landscape architecture. I have two sons — one lives with me, and the other is a student living in China.

I love nature, beauty, and meaningful conversations with intelligent people. I’m passionate about delicious food, warm-hearted gatherings, and discovering different cultures. I’ve already visited many countries, and my dream is to see all the most beautiful places on our planet

Philosophy:

I believe that beauty is everywhere — in people, nature, kindness, and curiosity. I enjoy deep conversations, laughing with good company, and finding meaning in everyday things. I’m always open to new perspectives and cultural exchange.

In fact, I'm a cautious person by nature and it's not easy for me to interact with people I don't know. I'm here to improve this skill)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite travel experience:

Swimming with manta rays in the ocean was one of the most magical experiences of my life. Feeling their graceful presence underwater made me realize how incredible and diverse our planet is. I love moments like that — when nature takes your breath away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can take guided tours or tell you about Krasnaya Polyana, Adler and the nearest locations, I know. where it's good to take a walk and have a delicious meal)
I'm a good cook and I know a lot of different things, we can have an interesting chat. and of course I can help with learning Russian, as much as my English will allow me)

What I Can Share with Hosts
