Hi! I'm Mary. I adore meeting new people!
I'm very friendly and easy-going (hope I am:)), too impressionable, helping, but often very lazy. I love animals.
Can't imagine my life without mountains and freeskiing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have travelled a lot as a tourist. I was in Europe many times, but I stayed in hotels, got meals in caffees for tourists and talking only to people I was travelled with. But now I really want to improve my English and meet new people from all over the world. Also I want to learn new languages. Couchsurfing is the chance for me.

Interests

Mountain skiing, travelling (aww!), reading books, paaarties, writing small stories (just for myself), painting

Music, Movies, and Books

Eminem, Depeche Mode, Hurts, NWA... I listen to different kings of music.
Films of Stanley Kubrick and Bernardo Bertolucci are adorable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have you ever tried heliski? I have and it was the best thing in my whole life.

One day we (my boyfriend and I) decided to go to Cambodia and live there for a whole summer. We lived in the dorm with 12 other people from all over the world and worked in the beach bar at night. It was an amazing experience! I met lots of nice people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Study in Russian State University for the Humanities. I study Journalism. Also awarded in "University Snowbreak" (competition of giant slalom in Italy, Bardonecchia) in 2014.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell lots of things about my country, help with housework, teach for some words and phrases in Russian if you want to, cook Russian dishes.
I'd like to talk about me and listen about your culture and about yourself.

I also want all people in the world to know that Russia is not full of bears (I have never seen them at all), Russians do not drink vodka every day and there are not enough people that can play balalayka!
