I’m a bit of a traveler. I can’t live without exploring something new. Sometimes it gets a bit random - like going to China for three months where I ended up living for about five years. I like to learn a new language or a new skill.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a great way to integrate into a new culture. I think that the idea of this platform is quite amazing and it makes traveling very affordable and at the same time you have a bigger perspective of the culture staying with the locals than you stay at the hotel.
I Couchsurfed once in my life through out this app, also at my friends ‘ places around the world and hosted lots of friends and friends of the friends while I was living in Moscow and Shanghai also without the app by just letting people stay over for some time when needed.

Interests

I like dancing (salsa, samba, kizomba)
Playing instruments
Taking a stroll around the city.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite is bossa nova and Jazz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived in China and even learned how to speak Chinese without attending any classes :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach kids, not sure about adults though.) I’m sure I can teach anyone a bit of Russian and basic Chinese maybe, basic salsa and bachata 💃🏻
