I'm 24 y.o. and currently live and work in Moscow, Russia. My family lives in another city, and I don't visit them a lot, cause it's quite a long way (17 hours train ride :) ). I have a 3 y.o. nephew and a 6 months old niece and I love them to bits!! They are my two little universes :)
I don't have particularly crazy stories to tell, because I'm not really up to risk haha But I have visited some places and can share my experience with you.
I LOVE (!!!) mountains and hiking. If you ask me to choose between the sea and the mountains I'm gonna choose the latter because I feel an absolute joy going up the hill and being surrounded by the breathtaking power of the mountains. I am not an experienced hiker, but I love it nonetheless:)

I am an introvert, but when I travel I become my most funny self and a social butterfly haha I guess I can say that I'm pretty straightforward in terms of the speaking manner (small talk is not in my nature:)) But I'm also a friendly, respectful and smiling person, who loves nature, pasta and chocolate ;) Oh, and I love memes and have this very ridiculous sense of humor ;)

I can speak Russian (obviously) and English. Can keep up a small and simple conversation in Spanish. A bit of Korean as well (haven't practiced it in a while soooo).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My travelling motto is: it doesn't matter where you're going, what really matters is who you spend this time with.
And also I think the best way to know a country and its culture is to know it through its citizens and their eyes. I have met some amazing people that made my journeys unforgettable through the couchsurfing and I'm absolutely grateful for that.

Interests

I have recently started muay thai classes, feels amazing! And I love learning languages even though I haven't had an opportunity to do so in a while. I am planning to start going swimming which will hopefully help with my back pains
I love animals even though I'm highly allergic to cats. I am kind of afraid of cows haha I can tell you the story about this if we meet))) I love kids! I love nature and I absolutely love sun and hot weather, however I am scared of climate change.
I support equality. I support LGBTQA+ community.
I enjoy warm summer nights and practical things.
I am thoroughly bad at being fashionable

I am in love with V.E.Shwab (Villains series, Shades of Magic, the Archived), also Leigh Bardugo's "Six of crows" and grishaverse, Nora Sakavic's "All for the game", Alice Oseman's "Radio silence", etc.

I ABSOLUTELY love listening to music, it's my life. Some of the artists I listen to a lot: The 1975, NF, Lauv, EDEN, keshi, Alec Benjamin, Ed Sheeran, Zero Assoluto.

Movies: not horror x) (actually I always say this and I really don't like horror movies, but end up the only one laughing my ass off watching them while others are covering their eyes being scared to death haha)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

started learning Chinese haha
and also my Erasmus experience in Spain! That was great!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Russian and break some stereotypes about Russia! Guess what? I don't like vodka! haha

What I Can Share with Hosts

To be honest, I get so much energy, motivation and strength from people that I meet while travelling, and I want to be the same person to someone - to bring them joy, to make them think about things they've never considered before, to motivate and encourage them to explore and broaden their horizons
