I studied literature in the pedagogical university in Russia, specialisation is Eropean and American literature. I am going to be a teacher of literature at school or in the university because I'm fond of what I'm doing. Also during the holidays I work in a camp in Finland as a teamleader.

I have travelled to India and Thailand and a lot across Russia - from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok.

I love longboarding and chilling. Also I am good at cooking (or at least my friends say so :).

I am interested in 3d printing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want not only to see the sights in the cities but also to get to know their human face, style of spending time and having rest. Local people show not only material culture such as architecture, galleries etc (although that is also exciting and important) but the spirit of the place which I would like to feel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies
Everything is illuminated, Little Miss Happiness

Books
Dostoevsky, Ken Kesey, Steinbeck
