About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To use my opportunities

ABOUT ME

My current occupation is connected with art tours and international folklore festivals and I travel a lot all over the world. I am also an English-speaking guide in my native city of Yekaterinburg.
I'm fond of drawing in water color and sketching and photography, it's a big part of me though I'm not in it professionally. I print my own photo- and drawn postcards.
Generally speaking, I am a very "art" person)))

PHILOSOPHY

“We all have two lives. The second one starts when we realize that we only have one”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can treat you cup of cocoa and delisious stories about my city :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
June 2015 - Met with a guy from CS in Saint-Peterburg for a walk. It was very nice experience!
September 2016 - occasional talk with a French tourist in Moscow hostel during my travel grew into a really amazing communication and she came to me in Yekaterinburg for several days
September 2017 - French girl whom I met a year before (read post below) told about me another French girl, whom she met at the Philippines and that girl came to me too. word of mouth works)))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've implemented the journey of my dream, learning English in Liverpool and photography at Saint-Martins College in London

Once I have been living in Saint-Petersburg for 3 weeks, I was so inspired with this city that later organized an art tour for pupils of the art school from my region there. I also issue my own photo postcards, you can see some in the profile with photos of me
