“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine

Hi! I'm Karina from cold and tough Russia. Now in Qingdao, China.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find this idea of traveling and meeting many different people very exciting. I think it’s the best way to get know better people, culture and lifestyle of people from around the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

My playlist has everything. You can find there anything from classic music to French rap haha

Movies.. I’m that kind of person that hasn’t seen soooo many good movies and tv shows. But! I’m taking it as a good thing, because since I’m an adult (?) I can watch all of them and really understand and remember ;)

Just love books! Would read anything that catches my attention, would it be a book about the gut or about teenagers falling in love

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent almost 3 weeks traveling across the United States with my friend and two backpacks! It was amazing! We have met so many cool Couchsurfers and visited many cities. Would love to do the same thing one day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like telling and listening different stories, especially about traveling.
Learning languages is my big thing, so I can teach you 一点点中文 and I would like to learn a few phrases from you :)
