Friendly to the world and curious of life. I feel life. Feel happiness, music, joy, sun, so many more things...
I think there is always something to see, to hear, to enjoy. Every moment and place. Every person.
Grew up in Russia, then moved to France to study at the university, spent one year on exchange in Japan, finally returned back to Russia. Discovering the world :) i work as a foreign languages teacher and i really enjoy it. But it takes a lot of time :)
I like both partying (talking, singing, dancing, drinking craft beer) and spending time in peace and calm (walking, hiking, cycling, reading) :)
Update: I'm now living in Istanbul

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I support the principle of mutual help. Besides, what is life without meeting new people? All those new ideas you get, it just changes everything, makes you see the world in a different way, live more openly and fully.
Surgut is a small city, still I love hosting people and showing them around here - by foot, car or bike (according to the season)

Musik, Filme und Bücher

My profile on goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/18446875-polina - I love reading!
I truly love and enjoy music and am always trying to discover new musicians/composers. All suggestions are welcome :)
What I've been listening to a lot lately: southern rock, blues, post rock, orchestral pop, ... I can share with you some good russian music (rock, folk rock mostly).
I'm not really into films - it's somehow always been easier for me to pick a book than to start watching something, but whenever I see a good film I really enjoy it, too. But I just love Wes Anderson's films. Oh, and Dr Who :)

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

My first trip by myself - cycling in Japanese south (Okinawa and Kyushu islands) on a 20' wheels folding bike :D

Lehren, lernen, teilen
