About Me

Things I love the most :
-telling ang listening to people's stories. I think I talk a lot, but I am also willing to listen. As I am an English language teacher I actually get paid for talking to people. But also do it as a hobby XD
-learning about cultures, especially about everyday routines and ridiculous superstitions
-long walks. Like really long. And exhausting
-taking pictures. I even have a selfie stick
-cats / dogs / all fluffy creatures
-tea and coffee
-mountains and hilking, spending time outdoors. I will really appreciate it if you give me advice on where to hike
-NYC, South Africa, Latin America
-teaching foreigners funny phrases in Russian or how to read in Russian
-making lists

Things I don't like:
-the smell of cigarettes
-waking up early
-guests who expect that wу can be 'more than friends'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

travel and meet people. I host people mainly to practice Spanish or just share stories, talk, go out together. Important: if I invited you to stay in my house, it doesn't mean I am attracted to you so be respectful.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was a host 4 times in my hometown. I hosted Chinese girls who came to Russia on AIESEC project (not through CS). I was hosted twice in Europe. In Moscow I am a beginner as a host. So I am still learning.
