Hi! I'm Aleksandra and I'm 19 years old. I was born and raised in the North-West of Russia but currently I live and study in Finland. It's my second year in Finland, however, the weather and the nature is the same as in my home region so I do not really struggle with Finnish tough conditions :) Shy but struggling with it at the moment. Fell in love with France, milk chocolate (that's a sad story, can't help eating it) and piano (hope one day I will be able to play it!). Love autumn, late spring, can't stand winter. One day will learn how to solve a Rubik's Cube

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first thing that obviously comes to my mind is sharing experiences with each other. A lot of people have lived in a number of countries and have a lot of things and thoughts to say, I would love to hear other's stories and share mine as well :) Moreover, it is always better to get a valuable advice from a citizen of the city you're visiting rather than visiting only touristic places.
