About Me

I live in the moment, or at least try. I am an open, kind, sociable, friendly, considerate and helpful person. I'm trying to be this always because I want to get this attitude to me. I'm always ready to listen to another person and help if it's in my power. I love people with burning eyes, sincere smile and energy. I am a spontaneous person, I decided to quit my job and go traveling around Europe. There is such a phrase: "We only live once", so I bought a one way ticket and told my team leader that I'm going to travel because I so want to and I don't listen to people who don't understand me. But some of my friends say that I'm brave.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am curious and a fan of communication. I want to get to know new people all over the world with their traditions, daily habits, exciting stories, emotions. I hope that people will have the opportunity to show me their city from different sides.

I understood the best that we can allow in our life - this is travel. I didn't have such experience, but I trust people and I hope someone will trust me. And we can become friends and share experiences and stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to the music which inspires me. If you like the song after the first time, then it's already in my playlist.
I also read everything from classic works to psychology. The Arch of Triumph is my last book I read.
And watch different movies and TV shows from Misfits to Anna Karenina.

I do what I like and so in everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to live in St. Petersburg at the age of 17. I got a bachelor's degree and thought that I want to change my life. So in two weeks I lived in Moscow. Swam in the pool in clothes. Sat on the promenade and met the sunrise.

Teach, Learn, Share

Russian culture and language: I can tell our customs and maybe the values of most people.

I can also tell you about my profession and what each of us tests every day.

Maybe a little psychology - How easy it is to treat things and live only for pleasure, but this is just my experience and my opinion. I think every person is unique.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can also share with you my mood, positive, my view of the world. I will be happy to hear you, if you need, then I will try to give advice or help to do something (better if something is legal).
