A philologist, a translator, a passionate traveler, a tango dancer, a booklover:)
I'm extremely curious about the world, exploring it (and myself) non-stop.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way of traveling, learning and feeling new.

I successfuly used CS in 2012 in 6 countries (France, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Russia), it was an unforgetable experience: hospitality , kindness and selflessness of people are admirable.

Then I used it in 2014 in Italy and Austria... beyond all expectations:)

In 2015 - Stockholm. Again good luck!

January 2017 - Bangkok in Thailand and Penang in Malaysia. It was my first Asian trip and it was unbelievebly cool!

(I've changed my account recently because now I travel alone. I can give you a link to my previous account any moment, if you want.)

Now I'm travelling solo almost non-stop using the unique opportunity to combine work and travel that life blessed me with.
And I'm inexplicably happy with this:)

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots of films. Some films that I have enjoyed a lot: "The Prestige", "Stealing Bauty", "In Bruges", "Moonrise Kingdom", "Girl on the bridge", "Mona Lisa Smile", "Firefly", "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" and many-many-many others...

As for books - as I'm a philologist and my specialization is foreign literature, so I'm permanently reading a great number of books from classics to modern writers.
Books, coffee, tango and traveling are my eternal drugs:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, firstly, I've been to 17 countries - for a young girl from a russian province it's an amazing thing already;)

My unforgettable first Asian trip in January 2017 and particularly Tiger Cave Temple in Thailand absolutely changed my life.

I'm not a buddhist, but on the top of this buddhist temple-mountain (1260 high stone stairs), where I spent 3 hours during amazing sunset and heavy rain, I saw clearly:

-what makes me happy and what doesn't,
- illusions and traps in which I lived for years,
- real me,
- the sense of life - for me, here and now.

So I gave myself a promise that I realised in 3 months: to change my life from A to Z.
I closed my business (what wasn't easy at all), got two distant jobs and in April 2017 started travelling non-stop.

... And here a great story begins:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you dancing waltz)) And Russian, of course)

Can share lots of stories that happened to me during my trips to 17 countries.

But also I like to be a Learner and a Listener very-very much:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles, laughter, energy, knowledges, support, eternal conversations in the kitchen)
I can help cooking .
