Overview
About Me
Born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I am currently a Cognitive Studies major at a liberal arts faculty. I'm interested in a lot of things like psychology, film making and film analysis, gender studies, literature. And traveling of course!
I'm a huge geek. I watch tons of movies and series and can talk about them for hours!
I also love dancing and have tried lots of styles, right now I'm dancing hip-hop.
Fun fact: I love cool socks.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've heard about some positive couchsurfing expirience from my friends so I've decided to try it out! I love not only traveling, but also learning the place from locals' point of view, that's why I've prefered airbnb to hotels. But couchsurfing sounds even better!
Music, Movies, and Books
I looove Wes Anderson, Denis Villeneuve, Taika Waititi, Lynne Ramsay, Edgar Wright. But that's just some directors, I've watched lots of movies and series and is always ready to discuss (more like fangirl over) them.
I listen to almost all kinds of music. Some of my favourites are Twenty One Pilots, Vance Joy, Panic! At the Disco, Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, Fall Out Boy, Oh Wonder, Alt-J, Glass Animals, Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Kasabian, Imagine Dragons, Borns (okay that's a lot but still not all of it).

I can teach some Russian, recommend some TV-shows and movies that I like and share the experience of studying in the liberal arts education system
