CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hello,
I'm Elena. I live in the suburbrs of Moscow and work as a translator. Well, i find it a bit difficult to write about myself..I've graduated from Moscow State Linguistic University (now i have 2 degrees : as a teacher of foreign languages and as a simultaneous interpreter). I like to learn something new, to meet new people as i believe that even miles away (or rather kilometres away) one may find (a) soulmate(s)(people who share your views on life, your interests). Isn't it great?
Unfortunately, i cannot offer you a couch but i'll be very glad to show you around Moscow (especially on weekends).

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people the way you want them to treat you.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i'm a newcomer here but i hope to integrate

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i had some experience of being a guide to people whom i had never met before. We got acquainted via the net. It was really nice to show them around. I discovered a lot of new places in Moscow! it was more than 3 years ago but we keep in touch.

Centres d'intérêt

foreign languages, embroidery, cinema, litterature, museums, french culture (other cultures please don't feel hurt-no offense meant), salsa (i would like to learn), figure skating (as a spectator),seeing the world (although i understand it is a commonplace to put it here - i suppose it is the interest shared by all the members of this community).
I adore DANCING! I'm a hustle/discofox-addict (i've been dancing hustle for quite a time), now i'm learning to dance West Coast Swing too.
