About Me

I like Moscow, animals, travelling, learning, teaching, astronomy... lots of things!
I'm a beginning digital nomad, so I mostly work from home. I usually work as a private tutor. I teach everything I can. Officially I am a music teacher\performer and sound engineer according to my diploma, but I also teach English, German, Polish and Russian (including as a foreign language). I even have experience in teaching school mathematics and preparing kindergarten children for entering school.
I play keyboards, piano, guitar, clarinet and sing. I used to play in an orchestra and rock bands.
I ride a motorcycle, it's quite rare to see a girl on a cycle in Russia. I also like to drive cars, but still, I have a lack of experience in it, so I should improve my car-driving skills.
I finished my divemaster course this summer and I want to practice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to communicate with different people from different countries in different languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
As a musician with classical music education, I like classical music. I adore Bach, I think he is a composer number one of all ages.
I also like Russian Avangard composers like Myaskovsky, Stravinsky, Sofia Gubaidulina and so on. I also like bizarre music from the 20th century from Second Viennese School, French impressionists "Les Six", Soviet composers like Alexandra Pakhmutova etc.
I am also a big fan of metal and rock music. Lord of the lost, Ozzy Osbourne, Rammstein, Lindemann, Oomph!, Stahlmann, Blutengel, Mordor, Mötley Crüe, Sixx AM, W.A.S.P.
Ария, Кипелов - Russian heavy-metal bands, I have grown up on them.

Movies:
My favorite movie these days is Persian Lessons. I recommend this to everybody!
Different tv-series: Scrubs, Friends, Squid game, Supernatural, Evil, Office, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,
Flashforward, Mr Robot, etc.

Books:
I like Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy. I read many of their novels, so if you are interested, we can discuss them.
Mikhail Bulgakov, Anton Chekhov.
Nassim Nicolas Taleb.
