I'm a 1-st year PhD student currently studying International Relations in Boston, MA. I've already been to the US four years ago as an exchange student and want to continue exploring this country. I've also visited Japan as a volunteer and worked with kids for two months.

I'm an open-minded person, very curious about different cultures, and want to explore this wonderful world keeping my eyes open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've ever done was my decision to come to Japan and work there as a volunteer for several months. It was a life-changing experience making me think of coming back to Japan one day.

Another thing I'm proud of is that I managed to travel across some European countries for 20 days despite all Covid-restrictions.

Teach, Learn, Share

Apart from sharing a Russian culture, such as teaching how to cook traditional food or the basics of the language, I would be delighted to share my personal experience in studying abroad, international and local volunteering, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very thoughtful person and love sharing stories about my interests and listening to others, especially if we have something in common. I can bring some Russian souvenirs with me and tell a lot of stories about my country.
