Hey, guys! My name is Anna, I`m working with international students at HSE - one of the largest Russian universities (free ad); I also do research on urban planning hoping to become Ph.D. student next year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that I`m a lucky person because I had an opportunity to visit so many places in the world, to get wonderful experience just by walking around, meeting new people or by trying new food. It is never too late to try something new - that`s why I`m here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I`ll be glad to share:
- Russian traditional dishes cooked by myself (if you are brave enough);
- Postcards;
- Kitchen stories;
- Russian culture. It doesn't mean that we will discuss Tolstoy. There are a lot of interesting things beginning from Soviet rock music (Akvarium, Kino, Zoopark), and ending with Movie directors as Balabanov and Tarkovsky which might be not so famous and popular worldwide. I`ll be happy to extend your horizons and exchange views.
