Overview
About Me
Discovering new places and learning about different cultures - these things I love to do more than anything else.
I was born in Siberia, moved to Saint Petersburg 10 years ago, had a chance to spend one winter in Paris, and the last year I've been living in Tallinn, Estonia and working here as a volunteer in a social project. So the places I lived are pretty unlike, as well as experiences I had and people I met, and it encourages me to never stop exploring the world, learning and meeting more great people.
There are two parts of me - calm, introvert, all-on-my own person who likes travelling solo, and a cheerful active, talkative girl with a good sense of humor (I hope my friends are not liars on that point :) ) who likes to spend time in a great company and to get new acquaintances. These two parts of my personality allow me I guess to get along with every couchsurfer I meet :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The existence such thing as Couchsurfing is one of the many reasons to believe in humanity, don't you think so? :)
I will stay in Tallinn till the middle of August, and nevertheless accepting guests for staying is pretty hard to do in our volunteer apartment (there are several people) - I always can show around or give some advice about exploring Tallinn or travelling in Estonia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The life itself.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some Russian if necessary:) Can tell some interesting things about my lovely city and it's history, about Russian art.
I'm curious about many things, and I'm always thankful for possibilities to learn something new, and I believe that travelling, meeting new people with different cultural backgrounds are one of the best ways to discover the world around.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Great time spending together, impressions, thoughts and funny stories - these are treasures we should share with each other.
I can cook tasty vegan meals (although the diet of others is not an issue for me, it's everyone's own choice, I don't cook any meat or fish myself)
