Hi!My name is Tanya and I come from Russia.
I've grown up in St Petersburg, Russia which I believe to be one of the most beautiful cities. I will be happy to show you around or at least give you some tips over a cup of coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

*Dear guys, please, do read this part before reaching out to me!)*
I'm into parties, hanging out, walks, conversations, and I definitely don't take CS as Tinder or anything of the kind. So I really expect you get in touch with me being attracted by my personality.

I love travelling and I love spending time with my friends, meeting new people, learning and teaching something new and sharing experiences.
I guess I'm on CS because I'm seeking for soulmates or at least some nice people I can learn from and keep in touch with.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love books by English and American authors (Banks, McEwan, Orwell, Oscar Wild, Palahniuk, Shakespeare, Virginia Wolf, Rowling etc), by no surprise I love Russian literature, both modern and classical: Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Chekhov, Brodsky, Dovlatov, Nabokov,... I also love some books by Marquez, Kundera, Kafka, Hugo, Murakami... Just believe me, I've read quite many good books))
Among my favourite film directors are Lars von Trier, Woody Allen, David Lynch,Emir Kusturica, Wes Anderson,Almodovar, Roman Polansky, Russian filmmakers like Sergey Soloviev and Alexey Balabanov. I also like early works by Tim Burton and films with Audrey Hepburn, Tilda Swinton, DiCaprio, Johny Depp, Naomi Watts, Ryan Gosling.
In music I prefer rock, britpop and indie to be more precise (Franz Ferdinand, Coldplay, Muse, Nirvana, Babyshambles, Placebo, Depeche Mode, The Killers, The Kooks, The Queen, Garbage, The Beatles and so on). I also love some classical music and some Russian rock bands but I bet you've never heard about them)) Sometimes I can listen to pop music as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy being an influencer (in a positive sense) and I love to absorb things new and meaningful.
Thus I care for people who care for a soul, not just a pretty face.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest I can share conversations, walks, meals.. I can cook u something or teach you how to cook some Russian dishes or how to say some Russian words))But please don't ask me to teach you drinking Russian vodka, that's not my strong point lol
And if you want some special souvenir from Russia, just let me know))
