About Me

ABOUT ME

I love to study! It is my last year at Uppsala University and I am fighting temptation to continue my academic career. I've been a university student for 7 years, so now, seriously, I should stop doing this...

I like to eat! :C I love different unusual taste combinations (watermelon and shrimps make it taste like apple!!) and I really like cooking. Russian pancakes are not my cup of tea though...

I may seem a bit shy when you first meet me, but the Russian nutshell is easy to break :) I can get totally crazy when playing party games. It's hard for me to stop laughing if I've started doing it. I'm an open-hearted, kind and trustful person. And I have a hunting licence.

PHILOSOPHY

Give love!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used couchsurfing only once in my life when my friend Tanya and me were traveling around Sweden for a couple of years ago. It was a trip of my life so far. Now I am going on Erasmus exchange to Ghent University in Belgium and hoping to meet many interesting, not necessarily like-minded people there.
