About Me

Dear fellow CouchSurfers, please excuse me for my late replies if that happens, I get tons of requests and I have personal life and full time job aside CS, thanks for understanding 😉

As the majority of people don't read "My Home" section, here it is, in capital letters:
I PREFER HOSTING WOMEN*. My place is small and it just feels more comfortable.
*does not apply to male CSs who hosted me, you guys are always welcome.
Dear male couchsurfers, of course you can try, but in 95 out of 100 cases the answer will be no. So if we don't have many things in common, please think if your and my time are worth spending.

Looking for my place in the world.

Coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon are the only things that help me to come to terms with the world, especially on Mondays.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's one of the greatest things that gives you an opportunity to meet absolutely different people, therefore broaden your worldview and even make new friends.

As a former linguistics student I believe that your language determines the way you see the world, it endlessly influences your mind. That is why I'm so curious meeting people speaking different languages, because they can help me to look at the world from a different angle.

Interests

I love life as it is.
The biggest treasure for me is the beauty of life, whether it makes you cry of happiness or pain of laugh or just sit and watch you can see these vibes of life in every movement you make, everything that happens around you.

As I love the life, I love eating. Seriously, I'm like Julia Child from that movie - I really love eating and butter is my passion. I'd love to study somewhere like Le Cordon Bleu if/when I find out how to make it real.
I love decorating cookies. I am kinda crazy about that. *2021 update: yeah, that was a beautiful dream, but I had to face the reality and do my Master degree in business lol

I used to do yoga and fireshow and I'm still inspired and amazed by those people who can use their bodies(stretch, bend, etc.) as if they are not real people :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm as talentless in music as possible yet I really like it and my musical taste is very eclectical.
I especially love music that helps to relax: acoustic, indie and soft rock, ambient, folk.

When I was a child I almost lived in a library :) Now I read rather less and slower, books are like good dessert, if you eat too much you feel less pleasure.
My diploma work was about translating my favourite book - "Dandelion wine" by Ray Bradbury.

Et je suis cinéphile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Still doing it - living in Paris since 2016 and making it accept me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably teach you some Russian (barely English or French).

I'd love to learn about photography and watercolour. I see the beauty but I feel like never being able to catch it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can prepare some special and tasty russian meal.
