About Me

~current mission
I appreciate the idea of Couchsurfing. I treat it not just like a free place to stay but as a great opportunity to meet people, explore their cities and countries, feel new cultures, have fun together and become friends. I understand that many surfers prefer people who have already hosted others, but, unfortunately, for now I'm not able to host people because of the family situation. I'm hoping for friendship and acceptance as I'm ready to give it to you even just as a traveller now. I can't wait when I'm able to host people from around the world!

~about me
I'm an Art History student, and now I'm studying upstate New York at Bard College. I don't have a favorite period or artist, it's just interesting as such. When I grow up, I want to curate exhibitions and work at the museum. But now I'm a junior at college and I study art and politics (may sound weird, I know). I adore traveling because it gives so many new emotions and memories. I also like taking pictures, going to the concerts, exploring food, walking around and talking about everything (literally) wherever I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best experience you might get traveling is when you meet locals. Because thus you can feel everyday life — you see someone's place, eat breakfast and go to take the subway the same way people who live there do. I think it's precious to have friends around the world because you both can share cultures and know that there always is a person who would be happy to see you halfway around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's always hard to choose one.. I like Imagine Dragons, The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men, Florence and the Machine and other indie and rock bands. As for books... I like so many things, from Chekov to Andre Aciman. And non-fiction too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This fall I've jumped into the Atlantic on the island in Maine. That was absolutely crazy, incredibly cold and high. But we did it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I looove to meet new people, to know their stories and learn from their experience. So, I'd like to share what I've got — thoughts on art (kinda obv, I know), politics (haha), food, music, dances, movies, books, relationships, experience (of traveling, studying and anything else!) and many more things! And I also would be happy to see my hosts in Saint P, Russia, when I'm back home after the semester.
