About Me

I'm 20 years old.
I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. Though I lived in different places. When I was 4 we moved to Hungary and lived there for a while. I don't remember it much.
I was 7 when my parents moved to Almaty , Kazakhstan. I moved with them as well. We lived there for 1,5 year. It was a great experience I'll never forget.
I started learning English when I was 8 or something and I absolutely loved it. Since then I've decided to dedicate my life to languages and teaching ( I love kids!)
I finished high school and then got to the Moscow Pedagogical State University. It was in 2012. Now I'm attending the 3rd course (out of 4). In November 2014 I found the best job I could ever imagined. I started my teaching career. I'm teaching kids with cancer in Federal Scientific Clinical Centre of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology. I can't say that it's easy, it's a very difficult job. But it makes me becoming a better person.
I'm currently living with my mom and our pets - a dog and a cat.
I love traveling. I do it a lot. I love learning about other cultures and traditions!

I have a summer resolution I'd love to do - I want to buy a GoPro camera, travel as much as I can and try to record everything I see to make a video at the end. =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled a lot and I've never done this before. I stayed at hotels, motels and one time at the host family, but couchsurfing sounds much more fun! It's quite scary but I think it's so worth it!

Interests

I like yoga, swimming, hiking, cycling (can't wait for summer! =) ), roller skating, snowboarding. I also like reading.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite bands are Coldplay, Sum41, Arctic Monkeys and Lifehouse. I guess I like alternative rock =)
My favorite singer is Ed Sheeran.

I'm a huge movie fan. But I don't have lots of favorite movies, just a couple - Love Actually, An Education, Mr Nobody, Gia, Leon, Big Fish.
I'm a bookworm, that's for sure! My favorite book of all times is "Crime and Punishment" by F. Dostoevsky.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love all those things combined. I love learning but I also love sharing everything I know with people. It's amazing how different we all are.
