I'm a physics student, though you'll hardly ever suspect me of being a physicist til you ask something related to physics.
I'm fond of languages. I fluently speak English and French, though my French vocabulary isn't so good.
It's a year since I've been learning Italian properly and I feel like talking Italian all the time, but it's not that easy to find native Italians here. I have no language barrier and can talk a lot, even though my Italian has a strong French accent.
I turn into a very talkative and lively person once I switch to a foreign language.
I volunteer as interpreter for a local neoclassical dance company during their collaborations with french choreographers. Or for a radio station when they invite foreign artists for interviews on air (I had a chance to translate interviews with Timo Maas, Zella Day, GusGus and others). Or Ural Undustrial Biennial of Contemporary Art. Or for whatever I find interesting.
I have an amazing cat, he's 17.
I used to wear dreadlocks.
I've changed snowboarding for riding a skateboard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To broaden my horizons

Interests

I like jogging. I take my running shoes on journeys and consider jogging as another way of exploring new places. I like when people from other places show me their favourite itineraries and I wish I had a company for jogging next to my place.
I like self-timer portraits with a film camera and I'd say I got skilled at it over years of practice.
It might sound wierd, but I love washing floors. It has a restorative effect, you know.
I adore flea markets.
I love reading scientific and science-related articles in medicine, psychology and neuroanatomy and can discuss lots of subjects except for news and politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

London Grammar, OneRepublic, The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, Ok Go

I'd say that my favourite movie is The English Patient.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done is choosing Genova among other ways of getting from Corsica to Milan. I've never thought I would leave it so much impressed.

Teach, Learn, Share

J'aimerais d'échanger des leçons de russe contre des leçons/practique de francais. En personne, bien sûr. Si vous êtes ou arrivez prochainement à Iekaterinburg, vous êtes bienvenu !
