Hello! I’m Alfiya from Russia, Moscow. I’m sociologist and demographer, for now doing my PhD in HSE University on refugee migration from Syria and Afghanistan to Russia and sometimes work on applied projects on freelance (and dream of going to Turkey with exchange program). Before I was a social journalist, worked in international foundation and Afghanistan’s embassy and a lot of other things. Really love and appreciate friends and friendship (it’s kind of soil underfoot for me). So, may be you’ll find reliable friend in me.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love to immerse myself in culture. It seems to me that if I traveled somewhere and didn’t visit the house of local people at least once, the trip didn’t exist (I think the fact is that I’m going sociologist and I need a little more!). The cities and scenery talk a lot about the country, but still leave a more superficial impression of it. Not so long ago I rent my own flat in Moscow, and I will be glad to welcome you too!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share with you conversations over wine, for example, about Russia (I can tell you a lot about my strange country), about my Tatar culture, about the ties of the Tatars with Turkey, about migration to Russia from different countries, about the situation of refugees who went to Russia and whatever you want (I can support any conversation and be very attentive to you). we can walk together, and, of course, from me - dinner in a nice restaurant!
