Hello, my name is Evelina. I’m a 27-year-old girl from one of the hottest and unique places in Russia. I’m an Asian girl born in Russia, Buddhist raised on Russian literature which is full of love to the Orthodox faith, I’ve studied Islam and its rich and diverse culture in the university along with the Arabic language.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I love traveling, learning new foreign languages, meeting interesting people and sharing stories. Couchsurfing makes all these things fun and easy.

Interests

I'm fond of learning foreign languages. Currently, I'm trying to learn Turkish.

In the university, I was learning Arabic, last year before my one-month-long trip to France was doing my best to learn basic phrases.

• reading
• swimming
• volunteering
• travelling
• foreign languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Russian literature is my one big love, but I also like to read literature from different countries and in different languages. My big dream now is to be able to read Turkish literature in Turkish.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quitted my job on TV to take part in the volunteering project in Turkey for one year. My journey began 4 months ago. Now I'm living in Gaziantep and teaching kids English.

Teach, Learn, Share

We may share crazy stories from life and traveling. I will be happy to teach you Russian words (or maybe even some words in my native language if you are crazy enough to want it).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you how to make Russian crepes (big secret: similar to French crepes). You will learn a few interesting facts about Buddhism and find out how to be an Asian girl in Russia and then in Turkey)
