I'm a graduated student of anthropology, currently involved in some researches. I am very interested in learning new cultures and in getting new cultural experiences. I adore Brazilian music and indigenous cultures of different regions of this world. More over I could help you to dive into the Russian mysterious soul and learn more about traditions of non-Russian peoples residing in Russian Federation. I have been studying Lithuanian for the last 3 years as I had specialization on Eastern Europe in the bachelor course, so I would like to learn more about Lithuanians as I have never been to Lithuania yet and Eastern Europe as a whole (only in Belarus).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason of couchsurfing is to visit new places and get in contact with locals. I highly appreciate this communication because of the possibility to hear about their own opinions and experiences living in their own country, you never know about the locally dispersed peculiarities without being there even if you read a lot about it. It's always better to see and to feel it once than find it out from the libraries' dust.
