About Me

First of all, I have a twin sister, her name is Masha.

For surfers:
⚠ Pay attention to where we live, please. We don't live in Moscow, we live in Shchyolkovo, Moscow Region (in average it takes us 1,5 hour to get to the centre of Moscow by public transport: 15 minutes by foot to the nearest train station, 50-55 minutes by train, 15-20 minutes by subway)
💡 I study at university and work six days a week, my sister studies at university five days a week. Unfortunately, if you wanna stay with us you have to wake up early and leave house with us at 7-8 a.m.
Everything else you can read in home info

Some facts about us:
🔹We are masters of sport in synchronized swimming ( we have been doing professional sport for eight years)
🔹I love board games (My favourite ones are Carcassonne and Munchkin)
🔹We both like playing volleyball
🔹We worked as a waitress in summer between graduation from school and entering a university, and our first work-day was right after ours graduation
🔹We study at a different universities, little by little we learn how to live separate from each other)
🔹I had a surgical procedure that uses a laser to correct farsightedness (LASIK) and now I can see the World and it's awesome!
🔹I tried to get a driver license for seven times. It's hard to pass "city" part if you don't pay. I didn't want to be a part of corruption city, but it seems on the 8th time I would be :(
🔹My sister is a cosplayer (she attend famous russian festival "Comic Con 2018" here is a link to a short video about it https://youtu.be/gfaVwf35OJU also you can see my photo with her in a gallery)
🔹My sister visited Norway in summer2018. She lived in hostel, because our mother forbade her to stay at host alone... You also can watch her video about this trip, it's amazing https://youtu.be/Kr3ad87Z_NU My red-head solo-traveller)))
🔹And you can watch our video from Spain https://youtu.be/NjeSqxVKaw0

Info for hosts:
🔹We don't drink and don't smoke (and don't take drugs, hah)
🔹We don't go to the night clubs
🔹We're calm and patient (but we are not shy, we would love to talk a lot)
🔹It's not a problem for us to wake up early (even in 5-6 a.m. it's ok)
🔹We don't search for a free roof (we can easily find a hostel), we search for a communication with locals))
🔹We are ready to help with household chores and buying food or smt
🔹Unfortunately we can't cook some top class dishes for you, but we can help you with cooking
🔹We're young but we're not children, we live separate from our parents, so don't be afraid - it's not necessary to coddle us)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My dream is to visit as many countries as I can. But I don't wanna leave in hotels, I wanna find out the culture and mentality of each country through communication with local people
