I was born and lived for 21 years in Russia, where I finished a pedagogical university (Yaroslavl) getting a diploma with excellence. I was a swimmer back then. In 2008 I got an offer to go to the USA to study and compete in swimming there. In 2013 I graduated from an American university and finished my swimming career. I’ve graduated from grad school in 2017.
Living in the states changed a lot of my views. I am unbelievably happy that I went there. Now I am very eager to travel and learn about other cultures.

Please note! I'm not a sex surfer and I'm also not looking for romantic relationships.
I'm a respectful and thankful person with good upbringing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that it's a great opportunity to trade experiences, languages and places to stay.. I am currently in Russia and can't host since I am staying at my parents' but once I am back on my own I would love to host.

Interests

I find it amazing that nowadays we can meet people all over the world. I love meeting new people who can share some interesting insights and unique knowledge of things.

My interests include sport, travelling, art, world religions and languages. I also love kids very much. I donate some of my teaching and coaching. I want to adopt one day in the future.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to different kinds of music, I prefer to extract the best samples out of every direction:)
As for movies and books, I am a true girl and an eternal romantic. However, sometimes I can't avoid enjoying some cinical insights that bring me down to Earth:) I like good comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saved someone from drowning. I guess I am proud of that:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share any experience I've had in my life. Some people like to learn about my life in the states, in Argentina or in Brazil, or languages differences and difficulties. Some people like to ask about my sport experience, especially, about some world-known swimmers, who I was lucky to train with. Some people just enjoy listening to the whole story:)
