CURRENT MISSION

I am writing a PhD on the state of digital media in Putin's Russia. It is a massive project and definitely counts as a mission!

ABOUT ME

I am a Russian journalist, currently living in Spain. I love Barcelona, cats, nice food and having a drink. I am interested in languages (!), literature, art and gender studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, right now I do not host travellers:(

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I learned about CouchSerfing from my friend from the Netherlands Irene, when I was staying at her place. But we met at a summer camp, so actually I'm new here

Interests

I love cooking, enjoy music, used to go to dance classes, quit a couple of years ago, but still like to dance very much, and I'm interested in linguistics.
