ABOUT ME

I work as a data analyst/programmer in IT corporation. It means that I'm a Chandler Bing among my friends. Try ask them what I'm actually doing - even I will be surpised by the answers =)

I am a patient person, always serious at work and study, but when I'm with my friends, I can do crazy stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that it is really important to live in the current moment and to have a plan for your life at the same time.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I think meeting with locals is one of the best experiences that a one can have during travelling. Meeting new interesting people is one of the reasons why I like to travel and host.

I surfed in France and Italy, I also hosted people at my home in Saint Petersburg.

兴趣

My absolute favorite hobbies are drawing, horse riding, yoga, learning foreign languages and programming (I do that not only for a living).

I practiced kung-fu (wushu) for 4,5 years and fencing for 1 year, but at a certain moment I decided to switch to some more peaceful activity and choosed yoga. Nevertheless, I miss martial arts and I'm planning to start fencing again (it's really more effective when you are small girl to fight with a metal in your hand). Still, I like to see people fighting - professionally, of course.

I've practiced many different kinds of dances - salsa, lindy-hop, hustle, west coast swing. Now I dance only when we play Dance Central on Xbox with my brother. He keeps beating me, so I also try to practice alone - then I at least have a chance to win.

2 years ago I realised my childhood dream - I found an amazing horse riding school and started to train there. It is so cool, sometimes I still can believe that I'm actually on a horse back.

I'm studying drawing, and I hope that in a couple of years I'll be able to turn that into my second profession.

Seriously, there are too many interesting things to do in this life =)

音乐、电影和书籍

I am a big fan of rock and folk music. I listen to Blind Guardian, God is an Astronaut, The Doors, Scorpions, Children of Bodom, etc. I also like jazz and neo-classical music. Ludovico Einaudi is the best

My favorite authors are O'Henry, Douglas Adams, Rex Stout, J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, brothers Strugatsky and Gerald Durrell.

As for movies, I love comedies, and I love almost all movies with Jim Carrey (Yes Man is my favorite). I watch from time to time such shows and sitcoms as Friends, How I met your mother, Game of thrones, Monty Python's flying circus, Brooklyn-99
