Hi everybody! My name is Arina and I'm from Russia. I'm keen on travelling, learning new languages, exploring new cultures and meeting new people. I'm open-minded and I want to know everything about everything. Also I like movie, music and sports (basketball, ping-pong and swimming). Now I'm working as an English teacher for little children and a summer camp counselor. I'm a third-year student at Kazan Federal University, my major is Linguistics (English, Chinese and French languages).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This summer I'm a participant of Work and Travel Program in the USA. I want to know more about this beautiful and amazing country, meet new friends from all over the world, try new cuisines, practise my English and other languages and just have a wonderful summer. And in my opinion couchsurfing is the best way to reach all of my goals!
