Some random but fun (imho lol) facts about me:

- Nobody EVER guesses my origin, the most common assumption is South America, Spain, Middle East (but the list is not limited to this)

- My dream dinner guest is hands down Jordan Peterson, this guy is a legend. And if you don’t know who he is I think you should change that asap

- I prefer living for a while in other countries/cities rather than traveling short-term. Oh and I absolutely love traveling solo, this way the travel experience is lived differently 100%

- As much as I absolutely love real life communication, I am also a big fan of social networks

- I moved from St-Petes to South of China with very little knowledge of Mandarin and my suitcase; eventually found a job there and stayed for longer than a year

- Studied marketing in LA, but absolutely hate this city, so I moved to NYC and currently working for an aesthetics business company

- Favorite cities include: NYC, Hong Kong, Milan, Florence, Paris, Ghent

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, learning about new cultures, stories, new things. I think CS is such a great/ fun/ easy way to connect with like minded people from all over the world, not just finding a place to stay at for sure. And I already had so many great experiences using this platform.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music! I graduated from the music school so it’s an integral part of my life. I love EDM, pop, classic music, jazz (not a fan of hip hop).
12 rules for life is my book recommendation.
As for the movie - breakfast at Tiffany’s. I recently watched it and loved it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From the recent past - volunteering for a RISE Conference in Hong Kong. Can't even describe how inspiring it was - would totally do it again.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would definitely be up to some language exchange, sharing of the stories and experiences. Would be ready to teach you how to cook some Russian dishes (ever tried?!) Also would be cool to do something together: explore the city, go for a drink, party and whatnot.
