I'm a russian political science student, who is interested in writing articles on different topics and making research. My research field is game studies, cause I like to combine work and plesure, so currently I study political institutions in World of Warcraft video game. Also like TV-series, pop-music and competitions (like Eurovision) and books, especially british literature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in United Kingdom for a semester as international exhchange student and I want to know more about this country, get new knowledge and share my own experience with interesting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think, my achievement is that I decided to write whole academic research in Russia about video game, because this sphere appears to be only a way of entertainment for people in most cases. But I think that we can find out much more about it if we use scientific methods.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to find out more about British culture in all senses. It is important to talk with people and acknowledge what their lives consist of here. Only through this common experience you can really understand, what is the culture of the other country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can also share cultural experience of my country with hosts. However, I'm extremely interested in world history, literature and movie industry, so our talks would be very informative. Also, I would tell more about video games, new technologies (because I'm interested in transhumanism) and politics (because of my specialization).
