Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for friends to show me what's interesting, hang out and have opinions about art/music/theatre!

Interests

Long walks by the river, museums, libraries, quiet time in a good café... Outdoor markets (or indoor if it's raining), beautiful gardens and architecture. I also love history and politics and talking about both!

Music, Movies, and Books

The best sad songs are my favorites: Fado, flamenco, torch songs from the 40s and 50s... I enjoy poetry and contemporary literature, classic novels, plays and short stories from Oscar Wilde to Miranda July.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The 24-hour train from Moscow to Ekaterinburg is totally worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to sing, especially folk music - I can teach you some traditional American shape-note or Appalachian songs, or the few Balkan melodies I know...

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, France, Georgia, Germany, Poland, Russian Federation, Turkey
