Hi, my name is Maria. I live in a wonderful place in the city of Ekaterinburg, in the Urals, in the most beautiful and new district. I have a family and a cat and will be happy to show you around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done a lot of travelling around Europe and Asia and seen a lot of museums, parks, etc. I adore travelling but still I think the most important part of it is people. I'm always interested in getting something new from them - how they live, what they think, and it's great to speak a different language and understand it! It's fantastic. I also like languages, especially English and Italian and I think couchsurfing would be a big help for practice.

I would be happy to meet new interesting people!

Interests

Dancing! I practice dancing every day and I do love it! My favourite one is samba and cha-cha-cha.
I also enjoy alpine skiing as we live in such a place full of good slopes for skiing.
Recently I started learning to play the piano and it's really cool!
Dreaming about going to INDIA.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, once I led a project to prevent kids' abandonment in poor families in my city. I don't know if it was amazing or not, but some kids stayed in their families with their mothers.
