Hi there! I'm Alyona. I graduated from medical university a year ago. I've worked as a nurse for 2 years, but I'm currently out of work, cause I'm busy preparing for an international medical exam. Unfortunately I don't have much spare time right now, but when I have, I'll be pleased to meet you.
My boyfriend and I live in a small one-room apartment and can offer you a folding or air bed for one night. Please contact me and check if we are ready to host you, when you come, cause we are busy most of the time.
I've been living in Moscow for 8 years already and I'll be glad to show you my favourite places, I personally like parks and downtown, nice restaurants, bars and museums, but I can show whatever you are interested in or give some tips and advice.
I'm friedly and open-minded, devoted to my family, friends and occupation. I'm inspired by passionate, upbeat and intelligent people.
Hope to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My main goal on Couchsurfing is cultural and linguistic exchange. Since I currently don't have time to travel, it's my way to explore the world

Interests

At this moment I'm super excited about time-management and building self-discipline habits. I know sounds boring but it's my way to gain mindfulness for now and also it really helps with my studying :D

• books
• traveling
• medicine
• science
• jogging
• yoga and meditation

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not into music but I adore all kinds of books. I'd say my favourite is still Harry Potter as all the fans know "after all this time? Always" :D
Other favourites are "Gone with the wind", "The thorn birds", "Jane Eyre", "War and Peace", etc.
Movies are great too but not scary ones as I can't really take them in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't done anything really adventurous, maybe cause I prefer to be more cautious than reckless in my life. But I find pretty exciting that I have knowledge how to help people and I've worked in hospitals and relieved pain and suffering. Anything good for humanity is the most exciting thing in the world in my opinion.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know nice restaurants with great food for a good price as well as bars, if you are into it :D I can show you museums, sights or parks, I like just walking around the downtown especially with good company, so I invite you to join in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you around Moscow or give a peace of advice about how it works here
