ABOUT ME

I'm eager to learn, to suck in new experience, open-minded and even friendly, if you feed me regularly.
I can be a bit bipolar and spend ages by myself, just being tired of people, then suddenly turn into a socialite and chat the * out of you, being a cheerful idiot.
I'm never boring and never bored (at least if I have my headphones with me).
I graduated from Saint Petersburg State University with a major in comparative politics, my academic interests now lie between politics and finances.
I work as a project manager in technical inspection company and a freelance journalist for local editorial (I do social overviews).
I used to be a professional rhythmic gymnast and ballet dancer, so I'm obsessed with choreography with a strong tendency towards modern styles and improvisation.

PHILOSOPHY

Do the best work you can, have the best rest you can, enjoy yourself and explore the world around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The best way to participate is to host and to surf. Easy like that. I'm trying to contribute to both of those activities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I can't think of a better way to explore a new place then meeting locals and observing their daily life from the inside. Also it's a great way to start a new friendship, to get to know a person of a different culture.
