Call me Nadia! I'm a student of international exchange staying now in Spain. I'm an open, easy-going girl preferring art museums to loud parties.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm deeply interested in global culture! To comprehend it, I prefer empirical way. To put in a nutshell, I want to see with my own eyes, touch with my own hands and talk to people to understand their way of thinking better! Couchsurfing gives you this crucially important possibility to see insights of local life.

Music, Movies, and Books

The band I like most right now is Alt-J but usually listen to anything I' in the mood for.
I can talk about books hours and hours! Partially, I'm a philologist due to the nature of my studies; but what is more important, I'm a book lover! Last book that fascinated me was Celestina, 15th century tragicomedy, hilarious and deep at the same moment. The book I've reread several times is The Lord of the Rings, absolute wonder. I like Fowles, Barnes, Atwood, brothers Strugatski, Unamuno and many others. The only book I carry with me all the time is How to Be a Stoic, which is a sort of a guidebook helping me in moments of unrest and hesitation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I decided to go to Alaska where I actually stayed for 4 months working as a waitress. It was only there that I felt strong connection to the world of nature, its wonders and riches.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I'm comparatively young, I can't offer great life experience or many stories from which you can learn something. I do know quite a lot about literature and visual art, and can share this knowledge! Also, we can practice English, that's obvious.
