Linguist and film producer in training. Originally born in Russia, I grew up in Germany and worked for almost half a year in the US before moving to England to complete my MA degree. I was lucky to have had the change to visit and live in different countries which was always an enormously enriching experience. I love learning about new cultures and languages, meeting people from all parts of this globe, listening to their stories, travel more and getting inspired for future film project. I am a huge film lover and am also passionate about art, literature, philosophy, theatre, making music, cycling and hiking. Vegetarian and avid tea drinker! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and discover new places from all around the world.
