About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep my balance, help people aroung me, enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

Smart, open-minded, friendly. I love to read, to write, to eat, to travel, to take photos of everything, to take care of my cat, to talk with my friends and family. And most importaint, to be myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Being myself, living because I'm curious to see what's going on around the corner, what new discoveries and delusions life will bring me. Hoping to be able to describe the reality I live in and magic moments it offers with whatever tools I'm able to manage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Me and my husband are glad to help traveller who need a place to stay for a couple of days, when we are not travelling ourselves. Wr hosted a couple of surfers and it was ok.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After two years of not being sure about it, I met a couple of cool "coach surfers" and decided to sign in, both to keep in touch with them and to meet new ones. We had a long person of non hosting, now we are back!

Interests

One part travelling, one part enjoying staying at home, alone or with friends. My study subjects are translation theory, comparative literature, and recently gender studies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Changing countries, living on my own, publishing a novel, writing a PhD research, surviving with pleasure!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm trained as a teacher of Russian language, but it would be strange to teach Russian to travellers in Italy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch in a room next to ours, a kitchen, a terrace, and a balcony.
