I am a journalist, a web-editor, a yogini. Studied Classics (Ancient Greek and Latin) and psychology. I read a lo-o-ot of books, but there is something I care even more than books and culture: it's mind and body connection that I feel when I practice yoga. In love with life, especially with the sun and the sea. Right now I'm trying to write a fiction book of my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel more and I hope to find new friends

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been at the North Pole!
When I was 12 years old :) Because my uncle was the capitain of Russian ice-breaker "Yamal".

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell and show you something about yoga – I'm a certified yoga-teacher (although I don't teach regular classes right now). I can tell a lot about Ancient Greeceand Rome (literature, languages, art, archeology). Also about Russia, of course: culture, literature, history. About journalism in Russia – both paper and online. And about psychology – I've studied psychology too and I cover it as a journalist.
