I know I don't have any references yet - but it's only because I am new to CS :) And you have to start somehow!

It's always a bit hard to talk about yourself - I don't really know yet who I am, and I believe that discovering this is the great journey in everyone's lives. But if we are talking about more down-to-earth subjexts, I suppose I can call myself easy-going, because I love meeting new people and sharing everything - experiences, stories, moods. I try not to judje anyone - and never to generalize, because it's always a particular private story. Also I believe that everything happens for a reason, that Life is beautiful, that everything in your life is amazingly connected - and getting a chance to understand that is always one of the best moments.

I graduated cultural studies in Moscow in 2016 and now I'm working in film festival sphere - I work in Moscow International Film Festival and in Big Cartoon Festival in Moscow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would really love to meet people from all around the world, try to understand them, how they live and what they believe, listen to their versions of their hometowns and getting them some stories about mine - CS is a great opportunity to reach this.

Interests

I'm really into the movies, I love watching them and reading about them - classics, modern, animation - everything. I'm also interested in culture, how it works and what is includes. Of course I love reading, listening to music - so nothing special here :)
Also me and my friend, we are working on a documentary movie!

I can continue but it's better to stop...
Also I love series! True Detective, Fargo, Breaking Bad, Black's Books, Friends, Scrubs, The Office and so on

My favourite writer and poet (and person)) is Boris Pasternak. I am also extremely inspired by Margaret Mitchell, Leo Tolstoy, Hermann Hesse, Franz Kafka, Ray Bradbury, Tove Jansson, Joanne Rowling, Ulf Stark and Russian modern writers Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Mikhail Shishkin and Evgeniy Vodolazkin.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a strong belief that people teach each other through simple and unnoticable events, and the impact can be revealed when the time passes. Sharing is always the best, because if you really love something that you do or have or think, and if you love people, these two loves unite and generate beautiful and important result, and love only expandes.
