ABOUT ME

I am an easy-going girlfrom Russia. I’m 2016 I graduated from Moscow State University with Chinese History as my major. Like traveling, meeting creative, sociable and open-minded people, enjoying stunning urban and nature views, gaining new experience...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think, exploring the world is one of the most incredible things people can do during their lifetime: new places, new people, unique experience, local culture make me feel feel & happy! I believe the world has no borders; it's so huge that unfortunately there is no way to visit every corner, but still there will always be something new for you!
Why am I here? Well, without any doubt, 5star hotel is a comfortable place to stay at, but as for me, I prefer to feel a local vibe while being abroad - living among local residents, getting accustomed to their lifestyle, gaining new knowledge about the place & experience, socializing with new people - getting to know the place through the eyes of the locals...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I queued outdoors for 5 hours to buy hockey tickets, and at that time I was only 16! It was in the winter, and the temperature was below -25C. But I never bought the tickets, because it was such a great event, as the game would take place along with the opening ceremony of the new hockey stadium. But! eventually I got the tickets: my lovely friend asked her father and he found one for me (he is somehow related to the company-partner of our hockey team). I was so happy!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Foreign languages, special skills, local handcraft and cuisine, yoga and traveling, photo and film. And long long conversations about everything and nothing. And wandering along the streets. Enjoying sunrises and sunsets... Being a bit nostalgic..
