I am student, studying literary criticism, and teaching literature to children. I like visiting new cities and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling, and I like meeting new people. I think, it is a good idea, to stay with locals and communicate with them. I have an expirience of hitching and using Blablacar. So I met a lot of different and interesting people, and I am sure, that people are mostly good and friendly, and it is interesting, to communicate with them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to different music. It depends on my mood. I can listen to claccical music (Bach, Liszt, Chopin, Rachmaninov), or Rock (The Velvet Underground, The Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Scorpions, Radiohead, Rammstein), or Folk. My favourite russian singers and groups are Venya D'rkin, Alexander Nepomnyashsciy, Umka, Orgia Pravednikov, Boris Grebenscshikov, Psoy Korolenko. They play Acoustic Rock. If you want to, we can listen to them together. Sometimes I tune Russian and Ukrainian folk songs :)

What films I see depends also on my mood. My favourite director is Andrey Tarkovsky. Also I love films by Sorrentino, Jarmush, Scorsese, Spilberg, Martin McDonagh and John Michael McDonagh. More popular films that I enjoy are films by the Coen brothers, Tarantino, Fincher, Burton. The greatest franchise i've ever seen is Star Wars (IV-VI Episodes).

My favourite writers are Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. It is trivial, but I am really glad, that I can read their books in original. For relax I like reading fantasy books: Lord of Rings by Tolkien, Chronicles of Narnia by Lewis, Harry Potter by Rolling. As a phylological student I have also read many most famous books of different countries, and can speak about them with you. (:

Teach, Learn, Share

I live in Russia since I was born in 1997. I study history of Russian literature, I am interested in Russian history, and I have an expirience of traveling through Russia. So I can tell you a lot about this large and beautiful country, its geography, history and culture. Also I can help you with Russian language professionaly, if you need to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What about some russian souvenirs?.. Matryoshka, vodka, chocolate sweets? Or postcards from Moscow? Or books in russian language? I like making presents! Also I can share exciting stories about my country, my travels and adventures in it.
