About Me

HOSTING

In changing times we are now not as easily convinced to accept couch requests as in the early years of couchsurfing, so please write something about yourself and your travel story if you want to stay with us!

CURRENT MISSION

to hear the music

ABOUT ME

I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, and spent first 24 years of my life there. These were pretty cool years but then I decided to "see the world", and crazy things are happening since. I spent 9 months in Helsinki and then about a year traveling through Asia & Australia, and now that the travels are over I find myself in Wellington, testing software and getting to know New Zealand.

I love sleeping, traveling and watching the rain.

PHILOSOPHY

I travel the world/ looking for understanding/ of the times/ that we live in/ hunting and gathering first hand information/ challenging definitions of sin/ I travel the world/ looking for lovers/ of the ultimate beauty/ but never settle in.. (c)Gogol Bordello

Konrad is my husband:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hosting. I am surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I came here from hospitality club (rattlesnake), so my experience is now more than 8?9?10? years (oh oh how young I was.. :))
I enjoy hosting people as much as being hosted.. but for the last year(s) the problem is that most of the time I'm too busy and cannot give much attention to my guests, that's a pity.

As for all of the people who have ever hosted me.. I'm Thankful to all of them. My hc/cs experience is only positive, and I like this feeling of trust, that unites all of us.

Interests

architecture (as the most wonderful art, that combines practical and aesthetic value), IT (seems that i should like it, as it is my profession), arts, cycling, sailing, running, yoga, slackline, hiking
