I live in Ufa with two cats and two tarantulas (don't worry, I'm keeping them in closed containers).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning foreign languages and using them when talking to people. I also love getting to know people from other countries and learning about their culture. I spent a year in Germany, where I met lots of amazing people from all over the world, and I miss this very much.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to many different kinds of music, it's not easy to sum it up (http://www.last.fm/ru/user/SnowInShock).

I studied foreign literature at the university and I read mostly classical authors from ancient to postmodern (https://www.goodreads.com/snowinshock). My favorite author is Irvine Welsh.
