Hi there! I am Alina. My big passions are horseriding, singing in a church choir, reading and playing musical instruments. I do postcrossing as well. I sometimes write poems in Russian, when I feel sad. And I practice ballet dancing. Unfortunately, I don't have house of my own, so I can't host right now. I am sure I will be able to soon :)

I am an open-minded person, but sometimes it difficult for me to understand a person if his point of view is different. I think Couchsurfing can teach me to understand others better.

I think it is a great opportunity to find interesting people who can share whole new lot with you. And when it comes to traveling it is always better to have a local telling about the city, its traditions, history, best spots and etc.

I believe we all live in the same small world and I want to make it a safe and nice place to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people. This is the best opportunity to do it. As I said, I believe we all live the same old world, and we are responsible for everything that happens here. This is upon us to create the ambience. I want it to be a nice place where everybody is loyal and sincere.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost everything! My music tastes changed from season to season. In winter it’s Christmas carols, in summer it’s contemporary classics. As for my fav movies, they are the Last Samurai, The Constantine. I like Wes Anderson movies as well! My favorite book is Wuthering Heights.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wen to Switzerland without knowing German or French. It was hard in the beginning but I was able to communicate with people. It showed me that you can find common things even when you don’t know the language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can learn them to speak Russian, play piano and love to live! I don’t have any hobbies that I can really teach, but I have the passion for languages and quite a good sense of humor. Oh and I can sing songs or play piano if you have one!
