Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's cool to meet new people, especially to someone who works from home and who sometimes feels like she is a last person in the whole world who happened to survive after zombie-apocalypse. It all about me.

Previous proposition describes me like a lonely loser but it's not true. I have faithful friends: my laptop and my sofa :)

Speaking the truth I believe that everything you do will return to you: you help somebody, somebody helps you. Sometimes Russia is not friendly for travellers and I'd be happy if I help somebody to love this country.

I'm happy to everybody but please don't write me if you are in Moscow and looking for a place to sleep right now! I need time to hide a corpse of my last guest.

Interests

About books: Works of Lev Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Stephen King, Faulkner, Nabokov, Astrid Lindgren and lots of other juvenile authors - I do like them, Saltykov-Shedrin, Graham Greene, Orwell, Wilde, Bradbury, Philip Dick, Vonnegut and many poets.

My favourite movies: The Damned by Luchino Visconti, Howl's Moving Castle by Hayao Miyazaki, The Squid and the Whale by Noah Baumbach, Moonrise Kingdom by Wes Anderson, The Graduate by Mike Nichols, The Devil's Backbone by Guillermo del Toro. I also like David Fincher, Michael Haneke, Danny Boyle, Ridley Scott, David Cronenberg, Paul Verhoeven, Dardenne brothers, Alfonso Cuaron, Michel Gondry, Lars von Trier etc.
I do like horror movies: from classical to modern.

Everyday I listen to Morrissey, Beach Boys, Fiona Apple, Dawid Bowie, Arcade Fire, Simon and Garfunkel, Siouxie Sioux, 2H Company, Nick Cave, Aquarium. Sometimes I listen to Beck or Frank Sinatra in order to cry for a while.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you russian language and I'd be happy if you help me to improve my English. And I approve all kinds of cultural experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my flat and my free time. I can show you my favourite places in Moscow. Some people think that Moscow is extremely expensive city and it makes sence. So I can tell you about some saving-of-money lifehacks, for example about restaurants and cafes that you can visit without selling your kidney in order to pay for the bill.
