I want to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life (this used to be my "mission" in the old CS profile and I still think it belongs here).

I live in Saint Petersburg (the most beutiful city on Earth, BTW), where I study teach and use languages. I love meeting cool people, wondering through the streets, eating ice-cream, walking on the roofs (yes, we do it here), dancing tango, mixing cocktails and just enjoying my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always glad to host fellow couchsurfers. I like to meet new people, learn things about their countries and cultures and to have fun.

I take couchsurfing values (http://www.couchsurfing.com/about/values/) really seriously. I believe we can make meaningful connections and extend the horisons of our lives through this website and this community. If you treat couchsurfing like Booking.com or airbnb, please do not bother to write me. If you don't understand what I am talking about, or somebody told you that CS is a just website with "free hosts", please check out tips (http://about.couchsurfing.com/about/resource-center/) and this silly but fun video series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hjziobfEI4&index=1&list=PLETr5Hq7_NBUc2EKe-_1g2IK9uQfS65oO). Thank you for your consideration.

Interests

I'm interested in a lot of stuff. Journalism, politics, philosophy, psychology, languages, urbanism, art and so on. Not saying I know a lot about these topics, but I like to learn.
