I am 24-year-old Russian girl who dreams about seeing the world and meeting new friends. Despite the fact that I am passionate about learning English, I am a HUGE fan of Scandinavian culture. I like spending time with people, learning about their experience and cooking to them simple but delicious dishes such as pizza, cinnamon buns and banana bread :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that Couchsurfing will give me a chance to change my life and help me to find new friends all over the world. Why couldn't it happen to me if it happened to someone else? :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I adore pop-singers such as Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Dua Lipa, but also I enjoy listening to alternative bands. My favorite ones are Red Hot Chilly Peppers, Warpaint and Alvvays.

I am totally obsessed with "Interstellar" movie and I can't imagine my life without NetflixTV-shows.

Talking about books, I would say that I prefer mixing classical literature with novels written by modern authors. And... audiobooks and podcasts are vital for me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I decided to dedicate my life to Physics :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Firstly, I would be happy to help you with both Russian and English. Secondly, I love cooking, so you will be able to have a completely new food experience by tasting Russian and Scandinavian dishes that I can cook. Also, if you like jogging, we could go for a nice run together.
