Hi! My name is Angelina, I'm a student from Russia who is currently performing international student exchange program in Europe. I'm a very active person trying to discover something new every single day. Sports are my addiction! I adore a great number of sports starting with jogging and finishing with tennis and mountain skiing. By the way, mountains and beautiful nature are the things that can really make me happy, that is why I'm trying to travel a lot.
I also like great music :) During my free time I always try to visit concerts of my favourit bands, because the feeling of live music takes my breath away!
And, of course, movies. Just try to find a good movie that I haven't watched, I suppose it will be a complicated task :D
I'm trying to be as open-minded as I can be. I believe that optimistic attitude towards life is the most important thing that can give one person real happiness!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always eager to discover new cultures, because it's like the best experience ever. When I came to Europe for my student exchange program and met numerous interesting people from different countries I understood how much things I've never heard before exist in this world. That is why I'm on Couchsurfing. I want to meet new people, I want to find more interesting facts about different cultures and share my own experience about russian culture, I want to discover new places and get acquainted with different languages. I think Couchsurfing is the best way to connect people and it will make my dreams come true.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I adore mountain skiing, it's like the best activity I've ever tried. So the most amazing thing in my life was the day when I managed to ski down the whole mountine on my own. I can't express with words all the adrenaline I felt at that moment. Since then I wish I had the opportunity to ski every day :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

First and foremost, I can share mysterious russian culture with hosts :) I suppose every culture is very interesting and worth sharing. So it will be great to meet new people from different cultures.
Also, language experience is vital, in my opinion. I can teach people some russian words if they are interested in this language or studying it. Live communication is the best when mastering the language! I love learning languages and it will be great to practise some of them with native speakers.
What else can I share? Of course, it's very fun pastime especially with people who like to discover new places as much as I do :)
I thing that traditional food is also very interesting thing to share. I can cook some russian dishes because russian cuisine is veeeery diverse and delicious!
