I lived in 3 countries for more than 4 years and visited 29 countries. I love to cook, travel and learn. I was a ballroom dancer and a tennis player, so I can be a nice partner in one of these sports (or actually almost at any sport).

I am a bit hypochondriac, so I keep everything around myself very clean. I was an AIESEC member for 3 years. I have a bachelor degree in Psychology, so we can have a discussion about Freud.

At first I am a bit shy, but when people get to know me better, I am very open and good humored.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm moving back to Canada (I lived there 10 years ago). I lived in Montreal, then I moved to Russia, and now I'm back to Montreal. As I know nobody there I will be glad to meet new people and get some help in adaptation. Also I need some assistance in English and French - I tend to forget words, but have a goal to speak as fluently as possible.
