Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Self-development: both for heart and profession.
ABOUT ME
I have graduated as an English teacher but I used to work as an import manager mostly. I like to mingle with people from all over the world, but preferably from Europe since I am rather interested in European languages.
Several years ago I started to feel bored working in the office, searched for something new in life, new people, ideas, joys, experiences.... So I decided to become a Moscow tour guide. Unexpected, yeah :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A fresh start.
Interests
Linguistics, history, cross-cultural communication, teaching, Italian, singing, partying.
Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to popular music. Everything that's on air is OK. As a genre I prefer science-fiction, so it's Isaac Azimov, Andre' Norton, Strugatsky Brothers, Ray Bradbury, Interstellar, Butterfly effect, Lucy. This is not a well-thought list, just things that came up on my mind. :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've jumped with a parachute - that's what people would usually say. As for me... Giving up my career and starting a new one is much bolder.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am a true encyclopedia regarding the history of Russia and our traditions. So if you want to meet a true Russian, I am all yours. I will make you a great tour on our famous 'mentality' and will make you REALISE what it feels like living in Russia.
