About Me

Hi! My name is Irina an I am a newcomer in hosting travellers. Workdays I'm working in the office, so I'm busy all the day long and sometimes even in the evenings, because I give private maths lessons, but after work I like to speak to my guests, discussing anything in the world (but my favorite topics are languages, dances, psychology and different aspects of personal relations or motivation). Weekends I'm not so busy, so if my guest likes it, we can go around the city. But I don't insist on my company.
I respect my guests and their liberty, but I expect that they will also respect my comfort. So, no unplanned parties or unprevented late coming.
Current mission - To enjoy the flavour of life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurging provides amazing opportunities to meet new people, to touch other cultures, to share life experiences and to bring a little bit more kindness into this world by sharing our homes.

Interests

Learning languages is my favorite hobby. I'm not an expert in any language (except Russian), but I really enjoy the process of a new language system understanding.... Also I like to dance - in my life I danced ballroom dances, kizomba, salsa, hip-hop, contemporary, bachata, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best impression: 5100 m over the sea in Tadzhikistan - my highest altitude during an alpinism trip...

Teach, Learn, Share

To teach maths - it's my profession and I like it. But it seems to me that it is not very fun area of knowledge. So... I could show you how to write in Japanese or how to use ropes for alpinism, or maybe the first lesson of kizomba?
