About Me
ABOUT ME
I am a member of a little group of people who love what they do! I had been dreaming about working on TV since I was a child. I followed the idea to move to Moscow and now I have my own little YouTube channel where I make funny videos for those who want to learn English!

Hard worker and peace-lover I have a dream - to see, to feel and to taste all over the world!
PHILOSOPHY
To live free from stereotypes
TRAVEL EXPERIENCE
First time I was living abroad in 2012 in the USA. It was Work and Tavel program in a little town on the Atlantic coast in Massachusets.
It was a hard and great time! There I broke the fear of talking in English and met friends from all over the world. And we still keep in touch with them.
I try to learn the world, the cultures by volunteer programs. There were 3 times I did it: in Spain and in Italy twice. How wonderful to travel this way! Because you spend a great time with people who have the same interests and similar aims, who open to the world and ready to share experience, stories, and love.
INTERESTS
I can talk about history in hours. The begining of 20th century is my favourite period: the tradegy of Romanovs, the mystery of Rasputin, the hard life of Russian immigrants (Memoirs of Yousupoff and Russian poets)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I celebrated New Year with Arvis Adijans in Riga in 2013. Spent gorgeous New Year holidays with Salvis Skladovs in Riga and with Alo Sula in Tallinn in 2013.
In May 2015 I was exploring unusual things of Ancona with Mingo.
The craziest CS experience full of adventures was in Turkey in 2016. That trip changed my thoughts about this country completely! I fell in love with Turkish people, in culture, in nature!
I've hosted the brave Italian guy who saw the left-over of the Soviet Union! By the way, we were 13 with my neighbors living together in the "communalka" flat.
