ABOUT ME

I have been teaching Italian in St. Petersburg, Russia for 4 years. Then I lived in London for one year to get a Master’s degree in international relations. Now I’m getting ready to go back to Russia!

I consider myself to be open minded and open to new experiences and insights on life. I am friendly and always happy to meet new interesting people. Also, when I’m a guest, I am flexible and I can easily adapt to the host’s needs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started hosting people in 2014 and it has been a great experience. Now it has become more difficult to host but I still do it every now and then.

Interests

My main interests are music, literature, history, food and, of course, traveling.
I also love hiking and I'd love to share this experience with anyone who loves doing it as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love blues and soft rock such as Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Stevie Ray Vaughan. I also love classical music, my favorite composers are Mozart, Bach, Rachmaninov, Vivaldi and Corelli.

Regarding books, I love classics and I’d say Dostoevsky is my favourite author.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a decent cook and I’m happy to have culinary exchanges :) and I have worked for 4 years as a teacher of Italian, so feel free to ask for help if you are learning my language.
