ABOUT ME

I'm not a very expierenced traveller yet. I've already visited some regions in Russia and Ukraine, and that's all. Among the most interesting places I've seen I can name Solovki and the Far East (Sakhalin, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok). This year I want to visit Europe for the first time; I'm planning to go to Finland, Sweden and Norway with a friend of mine.
I'm a student. I study philology in a university (this is my last year of studies) and I also work. I'm friendly and sociable, I like laughter and jokes, I like meeting new people and visiting new places. I like camping (though my expierence in this field is not very great). I hitchhiked several times and I enjoyed it.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not sure that one man can change the world, buy I think that everybody is able to make it a little better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've travelled with the help of Couchsurfing several times (I stayed in Vladivostok and in Odessa) and I was pleased by the result. I live with my parents in a small flat and so I can't host guests now, but I hope I will have such opportunity in the future.

Interests

I can't say that I have some constant hobbies; for example, now I learn how to play the guitar and how to do fire-show. (Would be glad to show it, though it isn't very impressive yet :)) I'm a volonteer in the refugee center in Moscow, I teach the children of the refugees. I would like to know more about education, about managing events for children and adults.
