CURRENT MISSION I moved to Paris in September 2016 to work as a Russian teacher and continue my education. I`ve taught English, French and Russian for over 5 years but now I`m focused on my education and a completely different career choice. I got enrolled in University Paris 8 to study film and become a director. Here I'm looking to make new friends and/or meet creative likeminded people!

FYI: Couchsurfing is not a dating website and yes, I have a boyfriend. So if you offer me a couch hoping you'll get some, well, you won't!

ABOUT ME My name is Katherine but you can also call me Kat or Kathie if you like. I'm from a small russian city and so glad that I`m finally in Paris. I'm a citizen of the world and I don`t feel attached to my country. I love languages! I speak English and French fluently and I want to learn Icelandic, German and Italian. . Hoping to become a polyglot one day. I love travelling and hope I will be able to travel all my life and see the whole world and get to know all the cultures!

P.S. Si vous êtes français mais vous m'adressez en anglais cela veux dire que vous n'avez pas lu ma fiche et je ne vais pas vous répondre!

Уважаемые соотечественники и русофоны, это сайт культурного и интернационального обмена. Я не вижу смысла гостить у русских, когда можно узнать другую культуру, традиции и обычаи. Поэтому извините, но русскоязычных не принимаю, только если погулять или вы просто нереально интересный человек, который написал мне необычное личное сообщение.

PHILOSOPHY And this too is an inspiration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to get to know a country or its culture is to get to know people who live there. That's why couchsurfing!
