It's very difficult to tell about myself in few sentences, because I'm interested in the whole world. I study foreign literature, so I like to think that once I'll be a scientist. I enjoy reading and playing musical instruments, because of it my flat is gradually becoming a some sort of library or musical shop. In summer or autumn (not in winter, you know, winters in the Urals are just for sitting at home with cup of hot tea) I adore bicycle riding and can spend a whole day cycling around the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love to communicate with people, to learn something new about different countries and cultures. I think, the best way to do all these things is to live in the usual flat, not in the hotel, because simple communication and activities are the key to understanding of the country.
