Last months I am completing the European Voluntary Service in Altamura, Italy. I work in an organization occupied with projects of Erasmus+: youth exchanges, trainings, really cool experiences.
It completely coincides with one of my grand interests: meeting new people of other nationalities and getting to know other cultures.

I am from Russia, Nizhny Novgorod where I was born, went to school and graduated from university.
During my life there I was very often out making experiences abroad: in Germany, Italy, Spain, South Korea. Great memories..

Now I'm collecting new memories here in Italy!...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Only through the people who are the real treasure you can get to know the world.
And Couchsurfing is the resource full of people motivated and and desiring to do it!

So I'm in!

Now I am collecting my first experiences with Couchsurfing. I want to host, but for now I don't have a place, unfortunately. But in near future for sure!

Interests

Photography: I participated and won in russian and international photography festivals, tought children photography. And arts in general. And beauty.

Running: I love to run and to develop myself. Now I'm preparing for my first halfmarathon someday and somewhere.

Languages: I know many small things from many languages. For now I can speak without significant problems in 4 languages: Russian, English, German, Italian.

Skiing: I started skiing when I was 6. Last year I worked as an instructor of skiing in my city in Russia. I am definitely in love with mountains.

Space: recently I restarted to be interested in space (why restarted?? Because when I was small I loved to read everything about it!). I am charmed by its amazingness and infinity.

Languages: by now I can speak without any problems four languages. And now I'm trying to get some French knowledge. And I am always curious about some phrases in other languages!

Science, technology: everyday I read news about all the new things appearing in the world.

Dancing: house dance.

Actually I'm even too curious about all the knowledge and the world! No no, never too curious. Curious enough!

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Hemingway, London, Dostoevsky, Verber, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived 30-days hot bikram yoga challenge! It was unforgettable.
Each day 1,5 hours of yoga practice in the room with temperature of 40'C.
The feeling after the practice is extremely light..

Another thing - I did parachuting once. :)

And I have studied violin for 6 years))).....

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open for the discussions about all the topics: politics, culture, technology.
The discussion is the best way to share experience!
