About Me

First of all, if you are looking for a host:

I don´t live in Frankfurt directly but in a small (and extraordinarily boring) town 30km from Frankfurt. If you are travelling by car, it´s 20 min drive from Frankfurt city or 25 min from the Airport. There is also train connection from Frankfurt city which takes about 35 min to my place. I live 10 min walk from the train station and could pick you up there.
I have two cats which are very cuddly - if you are allergic or simply don´t like cats, sorry but I´m not the right host for you!
During the week I´m off for work at 7 am and back home around 7 pm, as you see, i won´t be able to show you around a lot.
In the weekend I´m free and would be happy to show you around.
For more details please read the "home"-section of my profile.

About me:

I was born in Yekaterinburg, Russia and moved with my family to Germany at the age of 14.

I am vivid, liberal, open-minded and curious individuum, always eager to meet interesting people, make new experiences, try new things, learn more about people, countries, cultures, actually everything, try new cuisines and just travel the world.

it feels weird to praise myself, so I´ll just say what my friends say about me:
well-educated, warm-hearted, friendly and open person, funny and serious at the same time. So whether you´re up to having a party trip, sophisticated philosophical conversations or just a relaxed time - I´m in :-)

Some people say I´m too direct with what I say, crazy and too loud. Others say I´m just honest, easygoing, lighthearted and quite fun. I guess I´m this "love me or hate me" type, so it´s up to you to meet me and make your own opinion

I have two cats, so you may call me "crazy cat lady", I don´t care

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some time ago I´ve decided to travel the world and see as much of it as possible. I like the idea of CS - on the one hand it allows you to travel quite easily and see not only the main known touristic spots but much more interesting places only known to locals, at the same time you meet new people who make the journey simply unforgettable in its own individual way.

As a guest I am not interested in just having a place to stay so I can just uncheck my sightseeing check list on my own. furthermore I´m interested in meeting intersting people who can show me his or her version of the town, share local secrets and just enjoy my company :-)

I really like the sharing aspect of CS, being able to open up to new people and experinces every day, as a host being able to share and as a guest being able to give something back.

Interests

My interests are sports (yoga, obstacle races, parkour, running, bouldering, hiking, cycling..)

I enjoy spending time with my friends - at parties, music festivals, dinner parties or just having conversation about important and not so important things

I also love to read, or on rainy or cold days I like to watch TV shows or good movies

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I prefer electronic music (tech-house, deep-house), to get an idea what I´m talking about go to Soundcloud and listen to some tracks from Miyagi.
But I also feel comfortable with Rock, Alternative, Punk, Industrial,..

Movies:
- science fiction movies (Dark City, Alien(s), Predator, Terminator,..)
- horror (Exorcist, zombie movies, Paranormal Activity,..)
- action & adventure
- good, sophisticated movies, preferably based on books, like "Into the wild", "The Cider House Rules"
- independent movies like "Shame", "Mary Marcy May Marlene", "Irreversible", "City of lost Children"
- classics like "Casablanca", "Gone With The Wind"
- I absolutely adore Guy Ritchie movies and I am a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino

Books:
- (Science) fiction (Ray Bradbury, George Orwell,..)
- classic literature (russian classics, Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka, Charles Dickens,...)
- modern writers (Stephen King, Joe Hill,..)
- also non-fiction and biographies

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

decided to participate obstacle runs - may be not so amazing but was an important and life changing step for me
more amazing things will follow ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you German or Russian if needed :-)
I can teach you some basic yoga and show you my favourite asanas - very easy to learn and relaxing after long and exhausting trip

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I can share? All I have! :-)

My cooking skills are very limited, but I have one or another culinaric special i´m famous for and that I´d be happy to share with the host or guest

I am a pretty good entertainer, I can talk endless about everything and nothing. At the same time I´m good listener if you have things to share

My biggest and most importand (at least to me) share is my gratitude and my respect towards the host and her / his family, friends and property
