Starting from September: travelling around Russia.

Hello!
My name is Polina. I am a geek for languages, geography and cultures.

I try to be the person I would like to meet myself. What goes around, comes around, right? I like honest, open-minded, kind people who strive for knowledge, so that’s what I try to be as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I get to look into cultures much better than any other way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked around Europe and different parts of Russia. It was eye-opening.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn, honestly! So I will be glad to learn anything from your language, culture, traditions, history, and cuisine. I can offer the same in exchange.

I will gladly play tennis with you or go for a walk.

Some of the quirks of my work: I can teach you how to say "sodium chloride" in 5 languages, tell you why it's best to change the color of the red label of a company in Vietnam and give away some secrets on how to make an LED shine using lemons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some good Russian (and beyond) stuff, talk about anything and everything. I am a respectful guest.
