Hey everyone and welcome to my page. It won't be unique because we all've got the same reasons to be there. Well, mostly. A bit of info about myself: I'm an English teacher for the esl students in Moscow. For now I can say that I really love working with young learners because it makes me feel younger as well. I'm not that old tho but kids are smart x creative x honest so I try learning from them. Recently I've joined Teach For All and moved to a small village in Tambov region, where I work in a public school. My life has never been so weird before haha

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We don't spend a lot of time with local people in foreign countries. We just see them in the streets and groceries but they could share so much. They know a city, culture, cheap places, good coffee shops and so on. Thanks to CS I'm able to meet such people.
Music, Movies, and Books
The 60's x 70's rock music, post punk. My Top 3: Radiohead - Joy Division - The Cure I looove reading. Ofc classic russian literature at the first place. And then english literature. Loooove it. Shakespeare rocks. Now I'm into latin american literature. Marquez is sick. I prefer creepy movies like Chumscrabber or Donnie Darko. And tv series ofc. A loooot of them tbh.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Well, I fell in love with Berlin in September and then even more in April. And I knew I had to come back for the whole summer just because I really wanted to. So by the end of April I had found a job and the one-way ticket was in my hands. So it was awesome and crazy experience in my fav city in the world..
