About Me

Hi there!

Last year I graduated from university in Moscow. And since then I'm enjoying freedom of doing everything at once:

+ I study programming from lvl 0
+ Help consulting company with secondary school education research
+ Do website and marketing for Moscow startup - anticafe
+ Volunteer at teaching English

I believe in improving yourself by helping others. Cause very often you gain more than you give. The first time that I realized it was 3 years ago when I've been to China. For 2 months I participated in volunteering program for kids from rural areas. Actually, I've been in AIESEC Moscow for 3 years. Once an AIESECer forever an AIESECer. I also know basics of rock climbing :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know other people with different life stories. It's not my thing to discover new places as a tourist. I'm not afraid to see the world as locals see it. And not afraid to show the best and the worst of places where I live. I'm here to share what I've got and what I am so far

And to have adventures while I can :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My internship in China, amazing but tough experience. Out of the blue, I just decided to apply to 42 Paris (programming school). With 0 coding experience and 0 French knowledge. Guess where I study now, lol

Teach, Learn, Share

Nice English practice + some expertise in startup world, team management, marketing, business development. Just a person who is ready to share experience

Tell a little about mountain climbing, a lot about volunteering

You can talk to me about politics if you're interested but I'm not an expert on this subject

Can cook a couple of Russian dishes if you're brave :)
