I am an exchange student from Russia who came to the United States to study for a term. Apart from studying, I am planning to travel to West and East coasts to see huge cities (I study in a small town in Mississippi), enjoy wonderful sunsets and to meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It might be obvious that being a student it is almost impossible to have enough money for traveling, especially to big cities in the United States. Aside from that, Couchsurfing is an amazing opportunity to meet people with a different mindset and earn new intercultural experience.

Interests

I adore listening to music and studying chords and lyrics of different songs (Taylor Swift's songs are the best). Besides, I am so happy to study Intercultural Communication at university since this is a field of studies which I love, and I would like to connect my future life with it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Taylor Swift!! But I also love pop music in general, and a bit of rap and hip-hop music. I love watching musicals and never miss the chance to watch it whenever a new one is released. As for the books, I like reading detective stories and books about psychology and communication.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to study Italian to Italy for a month! I met many cool people there from almost all continents and I also got the chance to travel to some big cities, eat plenty of Italian food and sing Italian songs with local people. It was unforgettable!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am so so so excited to meet new people from other countries and learn about their culture! Also, it would be awesome to talk to Russians who have lived abroad for a long time to see what struck them most about other cultures and if they miss something from Russian culture!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experience of living in Russia and staying in Italy and the US! We can talk a lot about different cultures. Also, we can cook some Russian meals together, and I can bring you some souvenirs from Russia (I brought them with me from home)!
