I love walking alone in a rainy weather. I love partying in the crowd of friends. I prefer to be myself to being adored by everyone. I believe that it's no better to be safe than sorry.

I study Financial Management at the best business school in Russia and during the school year I have loads of homework. I'm really passionate about my studying and I hope to build a career in this field.

I enjoy self-development and learning new things about this great world. Every summer I spend with grandparents at countryside house, playing football, swimming and having fun with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to visit new countries and meet new interesting people. Also I'm interested in cultural exchange and getting to know countries "from the inside". If you couchsurf during your trip, it means you will have a story to tell when you come back, awesome experience and hopefully a new friend. Moreover I'm a poor student and couchsurfing makes me able to travel and to see the world I am very grateful and happy about it!

Dream destination is Miami.
Favorite place where I've been is Amsterdam.

Interests

I love to play football, basketball, volleyball with my friends and team mates. Also I enjoy talking with people and making new friends. I strongly believe that everyone has a story to tell and I suppose that getting to know people closer is the best way to know yourself better.
Also I enjoy cooking and reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I just turned 18 I decided that I want to try weed, so I went to Amsterdam. I've falen in love with the Netherlands during this trip. 3 years later because of my amazing experience I decided to go to the Netherlands for an exchange semester. I ended up falling in love with a Dutch guy and deciding to move to The Netherlands.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone who we meet makes our lives different, maybe just a little bit different, but still. We are not the same like we were a year ago. I want to grow learning from people and make my own contribution in their lives.
