Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To know as many things as possible and never stop to be curious about the world
ABOUT ME
I grew up in Saint-Petersburg, camping in forests and traveling with my parents all around . I came to France for the first time when I was 15 and lived one year there surrounded by grape plantations. Since then travel tick bited me and I moved less or more every two years to a new place. I finished my Bachelor in Geography in Lyon and right now I am on my way to get a Master degree in Montreal. In automn I move to Italy, and I celebrate my last months in Quebec by discovering everything there is to discover ( a lot).
PHILOSOPHY
Everything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
Interests
I am interested a lot in traveling, foreign cultures and cuisines.Also,I am passionated about cinema (crazy in love with Wes Anderson and Stanley Kubrick) , litterature of 20th century and any kind of experimental music. I speek freely French and Russian, my English is understandable (great ability of ordering pizza)
