Hi there! My name is Masha. I was born on the north of my country in Kola peninsula and I could see mountains from my window. Nature for me is the greatest source of inspiration. I can stare at the sky for hours watching it changing its colours...

Now I live in beautiful Saint Petersburg. I moved there to get my degree and it was the best choice I'd ever made cause I fell in love with the city immediately. I wish every person could visit this fascinating city and feel its atmosphere and enjoy the surroundings.

I have a gupsy soul so I adore traveling. Besides I like meeting new people from all over the world since I studied intercultural communication. I'm kind and open-minded person and try to treat everybody and everything with love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchserfing cause it's something different and challenging for me. I knew about Couchserfing long time ago and always wanted to try but I also always was afraid: what if something would go wrong and I wouldn't be able to manage it? But I think it's high time to fight this groundless fear!

Interests

As I’ve got my master degree in linguistics my main interest is laying within the field of language study. Mostly I'm interested in cognitive linguistics cause it's connected with the work of the brain — the most mysterious part of our body. I read I lot of things concerning my study. I also like reading philosophy and of course fiction. My favourite author is Kurt Vonnegut.

Lately I got into art. I visit museums every week and find out someting new for me. My favourite paintors are Matiss, Korovin and Vrubel.

I’m really good at wa/ondering!

Music, Movies, and Books

As for music then I'm a music maniac. As for movies then I'm deliberate. As for books then I'm conservative.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learnt to love the whole world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't even know... probably, I can share information — the most powerful weapon of our days! I know a lot cause I read a lot and I can observe the world myself, I have good intuiton. And also I have some experience in spite of the fact I can seem young. I've already got my master degree, I traveled a lot alone almost without money, I brought to life all of my dreams.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My kindness and energy.
My knowlege and experience.
My vegan cooking abilities :P

Also we can sing together and I can even teach you some Russian songs! Or practice some yoga ॐ
