I am an interpreter and translator and I can talk about these specialities for ages! I have complited my bachelor degree and currently work in the Organising Committee of the Universiade 2019 (This is like Olympics, but for students).
My friends tell that I am an open-hearted girl and that I am brave enough to get a 20 kilos backpack and travel around the world. I like new stories, new places and new friends. I like to chat with people sitting by the sea, listening to their stories.
You sometimes can not imagine at what extent each of you are inspirational and magical.

I have a small blog http://luminousgenie.tumblr.com/ where I post pictures I take or what inspires me.
I am Russian so FB is not so popular in my country, so, to keep you updated about what is currently going on in my life, here is my Istagram page - luminous.genie. (this is my nickname, yes)

I travel a lot and live in different places that is why I can not host (but one day I settle down and will be happy to share my shelter with others)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is the best and the easiest way to find new friends all over the world. This is the most imporant - to know that you have an "insider" in each country.
Also nobody can tell you about the city better than the real citizen.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Neighbourhood, Panic! At the Disco, Vancouver Slep Clinic, Imagine Dragons, Arctic Monkeys are forever in my hear and soul, but to tell the truth I like all genres of music. Collect soundtracks from favorite movies.

I have been to the concert only once, you know, at the stadium with lights and crowd - it was in Bratislava, with Imagine Dragons - it was perfect. Unforgettable experience!

Sherlock, How I met Your Mother, Friends. As for the movies "movies" my favorite are Begin Again, Iron Man (all parts) and Marvel collection in general.

As for my favorites books - Sherlock Holmes, The Little Prince, To kill a Mockingbird, Theatre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best is yet to come;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you many things but what I am good at is "how not to be recognized where you are from" :D
I also can talk for ages about interpreting and translation and how different languages are but at the same time how similar they could be.
I would like to learn more about cultures, languages and people
Share positive emotions:)

I can cook traditional Russian food, share stories or listen to your stories :)
