About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy!

ABOUT ME

I'm easy-going person from the warm south of Russia. Now I live with my beloved husband in Saint Petersburg where the main part of the cultural life is concentrated and whence it is impossible to leave for a long time. I'm engaged here in the creative activities of researching and teaching the economic science.

I'm always looking for the new emotions, new people and new experience. And everything I found strengthens my freedom. I always glad to meet somebody to have a nice conversation and to exchange our experience!

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is in our minds. Just believe it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I adore traveling efficiently! In other words I'm trying to immerse myself into the culture. I like to associate the places I visited with people I met there.

I love to communicate with travelers because it is also a kind of journey. I adore to meet new people and exchange experience with them. This makes it possible to realize the diversity of the world, to make easier treat minor difficulties and to be happier!

When I travel I always try to use CouchSurfing. I met many incredible people! This is an indispensable experience!

Interests

I'm interested in traveling, theaters, contemporary art, local music and traditions, meeting new people, learning smth new.
I paint and do hairdressing art occasionally.
I'm doing my PhD to be mathematician and economist. I teach a game theory and other interesting economic stuff at my university. Teaching is my new passion. Don't hesitate to stop me if I got carried away with talk of economic models.
