I'm a young person who's trying to discover herself and learn more about the world. I like to read books, dance, listen to the street musicians, try new food, walk around new places and make photos if something catches my attention.

I enjoy simple things like cooking and eating tasty food, basking in the sun, admiring the sunset, riding a bike, talking to different people, laughing. I can spend hours eating, drinking, talking and singing if there are nice people around.

My favorite city in Germany is Berlin, I've spent there 4 months, I think I will live there some day again.

Now I am studying bioinformatics in Frankfurt and I like it a lot, it's pretty hard though.

I was born and raised in a most beautiful city in Russia - Kazan. Come to visit it one day:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be a part of the world where everything is possible. I want to explore the world through contacts with different people and through the most beautiful kind of education - travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014 I made a life changing decision - started studying natural sciences from scratch after already gotten management degree. I am happy to do something I truly like.

I've run my first half-marathon in November 2015 in Riva del Garda, Italy. It was a great experience.
