My name is Dina, I am a student from Moscow. I study Supply Chain Management at the Higher School of Economics. I also work in IT-consulting company as Business-Analyst.

I love to travel, meet people and thereby receive new information about this world and people of different cultures.

I am quite calm and reserved. At the first meeting I may seem to be too quiet and shy, but I soon become a good companion (I hope so). I like to talk on different topics, but I speak very vividly about culture (cinema, music etc.) and Russian politics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always liked the idea of such a cultural exchange. It is very important for me to immerse myself in the real life of the country during a trip. Communication with the locals is very helpful in this case.

In the summer of 2019, me and my friends tried couchsurfing for the first time. We met many wonderful and interesting people and this was really cool! I hope my CS experience does not end there

Music, Movies, and Books

I am really into cinema and music! I can talk about it for hours. For example, I'm a big fan of Asian and Scandinavian cinema. My favorite films are "In Mood for Love" ("Faa yeung nin wa"), "In Bruges" and "Good Bye Lenin!". I also like documentary films. My favorite one is "Under the Sun" by Vitaly Mansky. Among the TV series I like "Twin Peaks" and "BoJack Horseman".

Speaking of music, I love Pink Floyd, Interpol, System of a Down, Gogol Bordello, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cure, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Johnny Cash and others. Unfortunately, I do not go to concerts and live performances as often as I would like, since not all artists come to Russia or do this very rarely. Concerts are another reason why I love traveling :)
