I'm a school teacher (russian language and literature). I work with 11-14 years old kids, show them good movies, discuss good books with them and sometimes remember that i have grown up friends actually;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to learn more about the world and people. It's difficult to know something about city if you live in hotel and visit only museums:)

Interests

My great passion is cinema: all genres, all kinds! I like to watch it, read about it, talk about it. Also i like to visit film festivals especially if it take place not in my city so i can meet new people and get new impressions as well.
My another passion is my work, i enjoy working with kids. I have to learn so many things so i can share it with my students. We go to theatre, exhibitions together, eat pizza in our classroom, laugh a lot - i'm really lucky to have this job;)
And, of course, i read a lot (i am a teacher of literature, what choice do i have?:)). I like detectives, classic novels, poetry, children's literature.
