Curious about the world around and inside me. Dog lover. Sometimes shy.

I grew up and lived in Russia until January 2020. Then I moved to La Palma, a little Canary island. There I was doing ESC volunteering, working with locals and enjoying the beauty of the island. Then life brought me to another island, Gran Canaria, where I was living for 2 years. Now having nomad life around the world: )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the world is open and friendly. But I don't feel like this. I'm here to meet new, amazing people and get rid of my fear of the world. I'm here because people's stories fascinate me. The better part of any place are people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I´m always confused by this question. Can I just listen to your preferences?

Some years ago my favorite book was Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, but then I started to get rid of stereotypical Russian "in-life-you-should-suffer" mood, and now I don´t have the answer.

I have music to work, “She remembers” by Max Richter. Ohh this soft piano, I love it.
Usually I get obsessed with one song for some days, listening various times per day and then moving on. I would be glad to discover your favorite music, but please don´t expect some profound conversation from my part.

I´m not a big fun of movies (Harry Potter doesn´t count!!!).

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you have a dog, I would be glad to have a walk with it!
I can sing you some Russian and Ukrainian folk songs (depends, do you remember that sometimes I´m shy?)
Listen to your stories and share mine.
Teach you some Russian if you want.
