I'm a cheerful and open to new adventures and oportunties girl:) I'm a student and I study languages, English and Spanish. Also I work as a teacher, I teach a lot of things: dancing of 19th century, English for kids and adults, journlism. My hobby is dancing. It seems that it is wht I have been doing for my whole life! I've tried traditional Russian dances, some classic things, historical dances, lating dances... Now I want ot try Flamenco:) My favorite way of spending time is talking to good people. From all that I have done in my life I turned out to be the most rewarding and interesting thing to do. I enjoy nice company and I am a ggod person to talk to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is my passion: it opens an opportunity to see new places that are so different from Siberia where I was born and raised it. Now I'm in Europe for a half of a year (I'm studying in Spain), so during the Christmas holidays I have a chance to travel around countries I wanted to visit for my whole life: France, Italy and Portugal. The reason why I chose exactly couchsurfing is that staying with local people gives a chance to fuly experience the culture you are going to. I mean, things like architecture and sights are of a great interest in every place I visit, but knowing local people casts light on how do people live, what do they like, what kind of mentality do they have. It is much more entartaining that staying in a faceless hotel:) I really apreciate the opportunity to meet interesting people and to make new friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot, that's my passion! I like classic book, for example, "Anna Karenina" or "Le Comte de Monte-Cristo". Last year I really fell in love with Virginia Woolf's novels. Also I'm really into ancient Japaniese and Percian literature, I have studied it and have read the most famous works. I appreciate poetry, I think my favorite author here is R. Kipling.
Besides, good book for kids, some fairy tail of fantasy, is always a pleasure for me. I was crying on "Harry Potter", read "The lord of the rings" three times and still imagine myself in Narnia sometimes:)
And, yes, every December I read "Christmas Carol" by Dickens:)))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I was working in Alaska. When I came I was given a job in the kitchen. However, it was a bit boring and I wanted to do somthing more adventurous. Finally I knew about the job of a teamster (a person who drives horses). Although I had never touvhed a hourse before I applied for this position and promised the business owner that I would learn really quick. And I did. Horses were very tall and sometimes bad tempered, but I learned to understand them, to be their friend. Now it is my favorite animal:) I was working as a teamster for the whole summer and it was the most interesting stuff I've done in my life!
