I'm a cheerful, open-hearted girl with positive life philosophy - I'm trying to see the good side of almost everything. I love people, good books, working in my lab (I'm a biologist), also I'm fond of travelling, trying new places, new food, meeting new people - all new experiences make me feel an endorphin buzz! :) I'm a talkative one, though I'm responsible and serious enough, when it needs.
Now I live in Saint-Petersburg, working on my master's degree, jogging at evenings and making pole-dance in my free time. Mmm.. what's more.. I'm clumsy a little bit :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

New people, new places - what can be more exciting? I'm always ready for new contacts and I'm sure, that "mostly people are good, when you finally understand them"(c). I really believe in people. And also it's funny :)

Interests

Biology and all "near-life"-topics, scandinavian culture and myths, kinky food, different handmade stuff, healthy lifestyle (I'm trying my best, but I'm not on the top yet), ecological way of living (recycling, reusing, handmade again), walking on long distances.
I really like to listen people talking about something they are interested about, even if I'm not very familiar to the topic. It's like they capture you with their enthusiasm and look - suddenly you are in an astrophysics! It's a magic!

Music, Movies, and Books

Every time it's one of the most difficult questions for me. The music depends on the moment and my mood - there are a lot of styles in my list. I call myself a "trash cat" because of it.
About reading - from scientific articles (almost in biology, ofc) to myths and fairytales.
Films - my favorite are those, which make me travelling virtually through the world. And also thoughtful ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking deep at night on a distant road (I caught a lorry, yea!!) - perhaps it was the craziest. And an amazing one .. hard to choose :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you something from my working sphere, also some "(un)cool stories" from my life in common; I can teach you some funny words from different languages (Komi and Bashkirskyi, I'm a child of these 2 republics). If you come to St.-Petersburg, I can show you around (depending on a day/time) and give you travelling tips :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depending on the day, we could hang around together, I can show nice places in the city and in suburban. Unfortunately I can't offer you a bed, because I live in a student's campus, but I'll try to make your time in St.-Pt. full of fun and strange adventures :)
