Hey!
My name is Alina and I'm from Moscow.

I'm an aspiring urban sociologist, curious and open-minded, easy-going, quite a studious type of person. Love challenges and consider life as an opportunity to learn and develop.
Love philosophy and questioning life and society,
Coffee lover and aesthete

I'm visiting Berlin in January to make a break after finals at uni, wander around to get some inspiration from my favorite city! Hope to practice some Deutsch as well )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm quite new here, my friends inspired me to try couchsurfing, so it's gonna be my first experience, which I'm looking forward to!

I'm interested in people and cultures, new lifestyles, discovering cities from the local perspective (well, I'm a sociologist haha).
