Hello! My name is Maria and I am a student of KSPU, I study to be a teacher of Russian and literature. I live in a big city Krasnoyarsk, which is located in East Siberia. I love traveling, meeting new people and cultures

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great opportunity to travel and meet new friends in different parts of the world!

Interests

My general interest is connected to my profession, I'm really interested in everything what's about literature, linguistics and art, also school teaching. I write poems and novels, sometimes perform with it in front of public, also help to create different art events here in Krasnoyarsk. My another love is cinematography, I mean, watching films, talking about films, studying films (I'd written a few works about films and books they were based on). For long time I had been a member of Postcrossing community, exchanged postcards, stamps and coins all around the globe. I try to learn playing harmonica but still terrible at it:)
