Hello, my name is Daria, but friends can call me Dasha!
I was born in Nizhniy Novgorod ,the city which is located about 400 km east of Moscow, but now I live and study in Moscow at the State University of International Relations at the faculty of Political Science.
At the moment I study at the IEP Strasbourg, but I will stay here only for one semester.
As concerns my interests, you can read them below.
All in all, I am a sociable and easy-going person who is eager to meet new people and share its Russian soul :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1) To meet new people in order to share interests, culture and to exchange experience. Who knows, may be such an acquaintance can lead to a lasting friendship
2) To save money. It may sound materialistic, but since I am a student I can not always afford to rent an appartment :)
