ABOUT ME

Hello!My name is Karina. I have a foreign language school called Know&Speak and help my husband develop his coffee shop.

Currently I live in Ufa, Russia. But I also lived in Germany for some years, got my MBA there in International business and Entrepreneurship and had an opportunity to work with great people at Dolby (in marketing and licensing). Honestly, I consider Germany my second home and miss it a lot!

I have a lot of hobbies. It's evident that one of them is travelling. Travelling gives me opportunities to develop myself, make friends and admire our world more and more. I have been to England, Scotland, Wales, Vietnam,Spain,Turkey, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Poland, the USA, many others. I was lucky to surf France, Italy, and Germany.

I'm quite an active person. I've taught pole dance and gone in for Judo. They are my favourites. I also play badminton and used to play hockey in a professional.

I devote a lot of time to reading. It seems that I got it by succession because my grandfather and father dealed with literature very close...

One of my biggest aims is developing myself. Every person I meet makes some good changes in my soul, makes me better,wiser.That's why I'm here in couchsurfing:)

PHILOSOPHY

Our happiness depends on our attitude towards the things that surround us.Every bad thing has it's positive side.We should realise and find out it.
