A mentor, polyglot, and self-learner. I am driven by educating others and learning from the people that surround me. Normally you would find me in a coffeeshop polishing motivational letters to master's programs or reading books about disarmament or cybersecurity. I work with educational and advocacy campaigns where I arrange events to promote international cooperation for peace and security. Russian at heart, I am a world citizen in mind. I call myself a productivity freak – I work hard to do best while living many lives at ones. I'm excited to again relive the splendor of couchsurfing life in 2023. It's proven to be life-changing and I am ready for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I aspire to become a better version of myself. I believe there are a bunch of things I'm destined to learn and even more people I am to meet and learn from. I believe in connection and friendship that transcend state borders.

Interests

I'm a pianist without an instrument. I am big on hiking and drinking coffee. Recently, I have started learning Turkish and it's been going surprisingly well. In general, I like to explore language learning strategies and study how short and long term memory works. I am not a skillful cook, but I always experiment and somehow get better with every meal I make. Not gonna lie, I absolutely love networking events and meeting new people, but I also have a tendency to spend a lot of time on own.
