I am a book and travel lover currently based in Moscow, Russia. I was born in Russia's capital Moscow and lived there for a long time. I even graduated from Moscow State University (Journalism). Then I decided to move to Saint Petersburg — Russia's most beautiful city. I was studying Liberal Arts at SPBU's Smolny College there, writing stories and reading more books. And now I'm back to Moscow, living in Clean Ponds area (most beautiful place in Moscow in my opinion) with my boyfriend Nikita and our dog Kubrick (yes, like Stanley Kubrick).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've only been to 4 countries so far: Russia, Ukraine, France, and Georgia. It's not much, but I really hope to visit all the countries on the planet, as I believe each country is worth it. And of cause meeting new people of different cultures is some special kind of magic. It's good to make friend on the other side of planet and be sure someone remembers you from afar.

Interests

I really love books and everything connected. I love reading book, I'm also writing poems and stories myself. I wrote some poems in English though. I also love sports (workout), movies and long walks — especially in a new city. I'm a fan of cooking and I do cook pretty good.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big fan of Antony Hegarty aka ANOHNI — she is my favorite musician. She along with Cocorosie taught me a lot about love. As for movies, I adore Upstream Color — it really could not be compared to any other film. Speaking of books, I love Russian literature (Lena Eltang e.g.) and I'm interested in modern American and European writers too, but I couldn't name any books really as I love all of them.
