CURRENT MISSION

To explore the States, to get inspired by this New Land and get to know its nature, culture and people. Eat, travel, love!

ABOUT ME

I'll dare to quote Albert Einstein — I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still believe in people — good open people who are both passionate about traveling and hosting.

I had an experience staying at a couch surfer's place in Dunedin, while traveling around New Zealand. It was great!

Music, Movies, and Books

If I had to pick up one band, one movie and one book, it would be:
JUNGLE, GIRLS by Lena Dunham and Important Years by

Everything below is from my student years but I still cherish all that

***
movies: Elizabethtown, Where the wild things are, Science of sleep, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Into the wild, 500 days of summer, 10 things I hate about you, all movies by Sophie Coppola, old Disney Peter Pan

FRIENDS tv-show

music: a lot of oldies like the Smiths,the Kinks,the Velvet Underground, the Runaways and more. Plus le Tigre, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Uh huh her, Peaches for fun. Nice things like Death Cab for a cutie, the National. The Hives, the Libertines. I can go on for a looong time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fell in love with a friend, the best guy ever, and moved from Moscow to the best city in the world - Saint Petersburg - to be with him.

OK, second amazing thing (if you don't mind) - getting a job at expedition cruise for one season, sailing around Kamchatka and Chukotka up beyond the Arctic Circle, watching polar bears, whales and northern lights. Unforgettable experience that would be hard to beat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to ask 100 questions in 5 minutes, how to play a ukulele song, how to conquer fiords, how to chase whales in the coldest Russian seas, how to drink vodka and stay cool no matter what.

I'd share my travel experience, and you could share yours.
