About Me

Hi! I'm Russian student from Russian town Ryazan, and currently based in Moscow . I'm musician and art historian. I like singing, walking, cooking and of course travelling!) I like to spend a lot of time in museums, galleries etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm sure that the best way to know the town/city/country where u stay is to meet local people and places, music, literature which they like, talk with them about anything. Also, I really like to meet new people in general)

Music, Movies, and Books

As for music, I am a music fan in general, but in particular, I like Russian and Ukrainian dance music (u can listen OQJAV or Monatik, for example, to understand what I mean.)

In cinematography I'm not so good, but for me always interesting to watch a good movie with friends and in some cases I can keep the conversation going about it))

The last couple of years, I mostly read specialized literature on art, and fiction has become for me rather a rest. I like to read the Remarque and the Hemingway, and of course the Russian classics like Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering in some Moscow galleries (Niko art gallery for example) and in Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. It was interesting experience for me to know how that places work from the inside.

Teach, Learn, Share

First of all I can tell you about living in Russia, not only in the capital (in city and in town it's really two different countries), about Russian cuisine and even I can teach a couple of recipes ;)
I can also talk about something else, in general, we can talk about anything, because it seems to me interesting to exchange stories and opinions about different things with different people

What I Can Share with Hosts

Drink, food, Russian souvenirs (not a samovar of course, but still not less pleasant))

Countries I’ve Visited

Bulgaria, Egypt, Greece, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In
