About Me

Hello! I am a university student. I'm from Perm (a city in Russia), but now I live and study in Moscow.
I am curious, open-minded and keen on foreign languages (English, German, Japanese and I'm not going to stop! On my bookshelf there are textbooks of Italian, Spanish, French, Latin and Korean). I enjoy getting knowledge and making new acquaintances :)
I've been in Japan, Mexico, Korea and want to visit other countries as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, share experience, culture and life stories
I want to understand people from other countries because we're all different, but at the same time have something in common

Interests

  • culture
  • walking

  • traveling
  • music
  • international relations
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer alternative rock, but actually, I'm listening to almost everything from classical music to pop. My favourite bands and composers are IAMX, Placebo, Kashiwa Daisuke, Hiroyuki Sawano and others

As for books, I like to read classic literature and some kind of psychology books (Irvin Yalom and his "Existential psychotherapy" is my favourite one), but because of my studying I also have to read a lot about history and international relations

Unfortunately, I don't watch films often, only when I'm on my vacation. But eventually, it gives much more pleasure. Also I watch anime Mob Psycho 100, Haikyuu!!, One Punch Man etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I volunteered and participated in a quiz, organized by the central bank, and won 500 000 rub
But it turned out that all banknotes were cut and pressed together

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell about Russia and its people, advise what to visit in Moscow, teach a little bit languages that I know

What I Can Share with Hosts

Maybe you have something in your area that you wanted to visit a long time ago, but couldn`t (I have never been in Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, although I`ve been living here for 3 years), so let`s do it together!
We can practice English together or I can teach some Russian, if you are interested
I can wash dishes

Countries I’ve Visited

Japan, Mexico, South Korea

Countries I’ve Lived In

Japan
