CURRENT MISSION

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery and today is a gift, that's why it is called "present"

ABOUT ME

Russian origin and French soul - here I am! Born in a remote russian region in Urals I have always been dreaming about going to France. So my dream materialized in autumn 2009 when I entered in Nantes University.
It is really wonderful experience to live in another country!
Besides, I have a profession that is my hobby at the same time and that allows me to travel a lot: I'm an interpreter from French to Russian. I've translated such persons as Lise Bourbeau, Merylin Atkinson and I am always feeling inspired about what I'm doing.
And more people I meet more I starve for travelling around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Love brings love. We have come to this planet to be happy, but most of us has forgotten their mission. It's up to you to decide if you want to accomplish it. If yes - we are on the same wave-length.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trusting others and giving all my good mood to people I host and met, sharing my experience and knowledge with others if they are willing to accept it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've experienced couchsurfing when going to Kazan city in Russia. What I like in people from CS is that they are easy to get on with. I have also received couchsurfers. It's a really great pleasure. You can feel close to the travel even without going anywhere. The most impressive sensation is to trust people you see for the first time and will probably never see again.

Interests

I really enjoy music, it inspires me. I'm actually taking a guitar lessons and hope that have not forgotten yet playing the piano.

Very communicative, I love nature and being sometimes alone to clear the mind, and the travelling helps me. I'm vegetarian and I'm practicing yoga.

My dynamism helps me to find a moment for sport as well. I recently have had an extraordinary experience of surfing and participates in a cycle race.
Having "north" origins I couldn't miss a possibility to ski and skate 8 months a year.
I didn't know it for a long time but the danses are my passion. I tried modern, jazz, salsa, bachata, zouk, kizomba - I love all of them!
I presume it have no sense to speak here about the willing of travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I adore reading, especially classic et modern authors in Russian, French or English.
My favorite French films are "Jeux d'enfants" (english title "Love me if you dare") "Auberge espagnole", "Poupées russes". Among russian movies are "Stilyagi", the movies by Tarkovsky and Mikhalkov.
Among the series I prefer are "Kaamelott" (in French), "The wire", "Big love", "Friends"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will never forget the incredible experience of surfing under the rain, when the sky is dark, cover with the clouds, I can't see anything because of the wall of rain, and I am on the wave and I'm nature!

Teach, Learn, Share

The only thing I know is that I know nothing. Thus, our life is made for the learning.
I'm learning every day and everywhere. I'm actually studying Italian and Spanish. If I have a possibility I would love to speak Polish too.
It is unbelievable to discover the unlimited capacities of your mind or body. It is maybe the best travel I could ever have in my life!
I'm actually learning Salsa and Bachata, so while travelling I find salsa clubs in every country I visit.
