I prefer my short Russian name - Masha. Probably, I'm smiling too often and I'm not an expert in English grammar. An actor 10%, a housekeeper 15%, a pedestrian 50%, a cyclist 5%, a teacher 4%, a lindy-hop dancer 0.5%, a reader 25%, an environmental activist 2%, a cookies-backer 3.2%, a writer 0,6%. Most of all I'm interested in people because everybody has it's own unique world inside. Also love cities, big, middle and small. I'm dreaming that once I will open a small bookstore. I always travel with Alex, because he is cool, calm, smart and easily can find a right way on the map. You definitely should meet him too https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/alex-melnikov
