ABOUT ME

what can i say about myself... i love learning languages,travelling, and meeting new people! it is the experience i'm in here for :)

I value new friendships the most - people inspire me, I love meeting other travelers and digital nomads. I mostly work remotely so I try to stay in different places throughout the year.

I work at film festivals, i translate films ( subtitling, voice over, dubbing), translate films for Netflix. I am a neuro language coach and I teach English and Russian as a foreign language for business and career purposes .

I am a jazz singer and I love taking part in jazz jams around the world :)

I have lived in the USA for 2 years, where I was on a Fulbright scholarship teaching Russian and studying linguistics, cinema studies in Oberlin, Ohio and taking vocal lessons at Oberlin conservatory. I also spent a year in Washington, DC working in education.

I spent 4 months in Arica, Chile, as a volunteer teaching English to kids in vulnerable schools there and then traveled South America for another 5 months

PHILOSOPHY

Life is awesome!
Music is happiness.
I live in my own cinema

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first time couchsurfing was in Europe - I couchsurfed with my friend in Prague and Spain, we were hosted by very nice people! it was a great experience!

and then I met up for coffee several times in Germany, and got to know such pleasant people! got new friends :)

Then I couchsurfed a lot in the USA, I was being hosted and also I just met up with people , too. It was one of the best experiences in my life! I couchsurfed in Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Tampa, Austin, San Diego..

And then in Peru, Chile and Argentina. Now thanks to couchsurfing I have some amazing friends there!
