About Me

Hallo everyone, in this line, I must tell about myself in a couple of words. I'm a little confused and don't know how to start. So I am 25 years old. I was born and grew up in a small town. I received a law degree. I love to read, sometimes I find it easier to communicate with books than with people, but I work on myself and get out of the comfort zone. I love to travel. Before, I just didn't know how to do this. Now I learn to travel without a huge baggage and mountains of cash. I work in the family business, associated with construction. In my spare time I read, talk with friends, organize parties, volunteer and play in all available sports. I really want to learn English and to meet people from different parts of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the most available way to travel and learn the language. I'd like to see the country through the eyes of its local residents. Meet the guests in my home I can show that Russia is a good welcoming country with a rich culture, traditions and history.

Interests

I love to read. I read everything from classic literature to the labels on the jars of mayonnaise.
I try any sport that comes to my lifeway. In the summer I jogging in the Park, ride bikes, swim, do horse riding, rock climbing, go Hiking, play volleyball. In wintertime I go skiing, snowboarding, figure skating, go to the pool, love sport shooting.
Once a month I go to a retirement home as a volunteer.We bring humanitarian aid and communicate with elder people.
In my spare time I love to cook and make gifts for friends with my own hands, most often it is the albums and cards scrapbooking.
I love to travel. I spend all the money on traveling: large and small, near and far.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music must be light and full of emotion - Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and so on.
Books are my best friends forever. I read around 5000 books. My favorite book is "Crime and punishment" Dostoevsky, "One hundred years of solitude" Marquez, "The Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov, "The taming of the shrew," Shakespeare, "Multiple minds Billy Milligan" Keyes.
I love different movies, each week I am with my husband or friends go to the сinema. So I am a experienced movie critic. I really love all the movies of Tim Burton. As for me, movie for all times is "Real Love" and "Ivan Vasilyevich changes vacancy".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every month I go to a nursing home. When I talk with elderly people and can give them good mood and a smile is the real magic.
One hooligan thing. When I was younger, I snuck to the Statue of liberty for free, cheating the employee.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning English. Someday I want to learn to play the piano.
I can teach you to cook Russian cuisine, in winter can teach you skiing and snowboarding, make scrapbookingn cards in every time.
