Hey there!
For now I live in Berlin, work as a babysitter for kids and learn German. I came here in Dec 2019 and planning to stay till the end of 2020.
I was born in Russia, in a small city Gatchina. For the last 5 years I lived in St Petersburg, studied theatre and worked as a tour guide in the Hermitage and around the city.
I enjoy meeting new people, sitting on a balcony in a sunny day, walking in parks, gathering with friends.. with music and dancing of course ;) in new city I would prefer to explore museums, public spaces or observe people on the streets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm outgoing person, I enjoy meeting new people, finding new friends, feel the real life of different places.
For me Couchsurfing is an unique opportunity to broad my mind and be inspired.

Interests

So, as I said, I'm fond of art, I finished art-school and love painting and creating collages.
What is more, I'm a real film fan, I watch a looot of movies, my favourite directors are Agnès Varda, Claire Denis, Woody Allen, Noah Baumbach, Federico Fellini, Xavier Dolan, Alejandro Iñárritu, Nicolas Winding Refn, Coen Brothers, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Krzysztof Kieslowski.
Also I'm interested in graphic design, learning different languages (now I perfect myself in German), reading books and albums, especially about artists and creativity.
Sport gives me a lot of energy and inspiration, my favourite are riding a bike, jogging and swimming.
In travelling, besides meeting new people, I like going for a walk and exloring streets, nature and countries' mentality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All my life is an amazing coincidence, but three things I can mention:
1) Jump from the stage at Bondage Fairies' concert
2) Dancing to my favourite music on the roof at night
3)Visiting Radiohead consert in Berlin(September 2016)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm working as a tour guide, I help people to open the world of art, Russian culture and history through real places, pieces of art. I would be glad to walk with you around the town, also I can tell you about artist and museum collections around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

To tell the truth I feel friendly with people and for me it will be a pleasure to have a good conversation with you about music, theatre, art, world, past experience and just to spend a good time together. On the other side, I feel comfortable when I'm alone, so you can be confident that I will not disturb your personal life.
Also I can cook in your kitchen the best Russian pancakes in your life :D
P.S. by the way, I love singing funny songs !
