Hi, my name is Alina. I write poetry and prose. I like reading books very much, that is why I work in the library.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Besides reading I like travelling. Especially I enjoy when I see castles and cathedrals of The Middle Ages and the Renaissance. So the most interesting thing for me is Europe.

Music, Movies, and Books

I.S.Bach and other Baroque music; from books I prefer novels of Victor Hugo, García Márquez, D.S.Merezhkovsky and poetry of Gumilev, Pasternak, Tarkovsky and François Villon.
From films I like "One hundred days after childhood" (Сто дней после детства) by Sergey Solovyov, "A Place on Earth" (Место на земле) is by Artur Aristakisyan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Together with my future husband, I hitchhiked from St. Petersburg to the Crimea for more than 2,000 km.

Published the book of poems "Непокой", translated into English it is something like "restless", "no peace"

Countries I’ve Visited

Belarus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Sweden, Ukraine
