About Me

I`m real Moscowite!) I have finished "International Relations" at Higher School of Economics as bachelor and “International Business" as master. I do speak Russian( of course)), English, Spanish and French)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is easier to understand yourself by exploring others, it makes you open-minded and it is much more interesting to communicate with people who have not just different tastes, but a different way of thinking, perception of the world and sometimes even a different world. Moreover during the semester abroad ( which is spent in Paris in 2014) I changed an opinion of some people about Russia and Russians for the better and I truly hope that I can keep doing it.

Interests

I really love sport. When I was 11 years old I started to do Taekwon-do professionally, then I switched to Capoeira. During last 11 years I dance.

Also I like music. I finished music school twice- for a class of piano and vocal class.

I adore theatre. It is a must for me to visit some performance at least one a month. Also I tried myself as an actress in a community theater but it was long time ago)

Foreign languages are my passion: I started to learn French when I was 6 years old, then English when I was 12 years old and Spanish just 4 years ago. As you may know studying a language is not just learning vocabulary and grammar, it is also discovering culture and people. So since my childhood I have been travelling with my parents (mostly through Europe).
