I'm 25 years old and I live in St. Petersburg in Russia. A few years ago, I graduated from the Institute of special psychology and work as a practicing psychologist and psychotherapist. I study and apply for a PhD in psychology and make a program which based on the mindfulness therapy for today's orphans. I also have experience in working with people with disabilities, supervise my own team in the field of volunteering and I hope that in the future I'll study outside of Russia. Today I work in the Association of cognitive and behavioral psychotherapy. All this is very interesting for me, but I am not limited in this science. For example, for a long time I studied at the University of Film and Television, have the status of the rescuer of the Russian Federation, worked in the rope jumping team.

Now I'm not too good in English, but I will try to make you the most good company, show the most wonderful and interesting places in the city)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I have many interests in completely different areas. For example, a long time I was the organizer of the team rope jumping and I love the mountains and hiking very much. I studied in the courses and now I have the status of the rescuer of the Russian Federation . I'm interested in medicine and extreme psychology.

I also love the cinematograph. I studied for three years at the University of Film and Television like a cameraman and photographer. I like to watch movie and discuss it with different people)

I work a lot with children ( in hospitals, children's camps, orphanages ) and I also very interested in children and their development.

I try to learn languages and to travel as much as possible. It is very interesting to meet people from other countries and continue to communicate in the future.
