Pleased to meet you.

Ok, this part is always hard to fill out. I'm a 28 years old Russian girl living in Saint-Petersburg. At the moment I study Product design and product design and do some freelance work.

I'm pretty sure that it's simply impossible to know all about anyone, especially about oneself. Anyways, I'll try to write down some facts about myself here to give a clue what I am.

-happy with my life and the opportunities it gives me.

-I'm not prejudiced and I try not to think stereotypically

Get every moment right. Life is short and you're the only one who chooses how to live it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Oh, it gives me a great chance to know the world around me. I believe, that to understand any distination, it's very important to get to know people, who live there. As a pleasant bonus, I improve my engish this way. I hope, French as well in the nearest future.

Interests

Travelling both to big cities and wild places. Yes, a tent is a cosy place to sleep in.
Reading mostly classical literature or sth concerning my profession.
Cooking, esp. pastry.
Music is one of my major passions. I can play the guitar and sing and it's not a total fail.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far... trip to Iceland. Almost all of it. Including hitchhiking in the rain and some amazing relationships which changed me. In a good way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to play the guitar and some Russian if you want. And some cooking. And drawing. Whatever I know actually. Some of my skills might be not very useful... But sometimes it's not so easy to tell what might be useful. So let them be.

I'm pretty experienced in travelling.

And as for learning... really anything. To live is to learn.

I enjoy deep sincere talks.
