Hola! My name's Kate, I am an EFL teacher from Russia who's willing to explore the world.
I'm a vegetarian, so it'd be super cool if you were vegetarian as well, but if you're a meat eater - no problem here 🌿

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm here because I truly believe that the best way to explore some culture is through communication with people who represent it, so I'm interested in learning and sharing.

I'm an avid reader, so talking about favorite books is very difficult for me:) I'll just say that I'd be glad to talk about "Catch-22", "Doctor Faustus", Salinger (surprisingly I hate "Catcher in the rye", but I'm really into everything about the Glass Family and "Nine Stories"), "Decameron" and Voltaire
As for films - I like "Les quatre cents coups" by Truffaud, Fellini and "L'Année dernière à Marienbad"; I've watched "Scott Pilgrim vs the world" like 10 times; I have also seen lots of Almodóvar's movies but I have mixed feelings about his works. As for series, "The Young Pope" and "Black Adder" are definitely my favourites!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you English and tell you a lot about life in Russia, or help you with practicing Russian as I'm a native Russian speaker:) I can also speak Spanish, Italian and French, though, unfortunately, my French is nowhere near as good as my English.

I could also try to cook something, but would advise strongly against trying this, haha (just kidding). I specialise in mulled wine, so if you're up to a nice evening and happen to have board games at home, this skill of mine can make the evening even better!:D
