stubborn gladness - that's pretty much I'm all about :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'm a 20-year-old student desperate to explore the globe. that's why i've recently started living my life in a way that mostly suits me and my dreams. after finishing high school back in my hometown Elista, Russia i moved to Moscow where i lived for almost a year and then left for Canterbury, England in which i spent approximately 9 months. and right now i'm all ready for my next destination which is in Aberdeen, Scotland.
with Couchsurfing i hope for a number of amazing places to blow my adventures and ever-thirsty mind away!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

books: i'm unable to imagine my life without books and especially a 19th century literature of Russia: i once gave my heart to Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky and since then haven't succeeded in loving anyone else. (literaturewise).

music: bon iver, the national, the tired pony, james blake, florence and the machine, zemfira.

movies: darren aronofsky, lars von trier, terrence malik, andrey zvyagincev.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

left my homeland. not because i hate it - Russia is in fact one of the greatest things i can associate myself with - but because of the biggest fear of mine is to realize that i have s e t t l e d d o w n. what a scary word it is, actually.
