CURRENT MISSION

Making Lisbon my new home! :)

ABOUT ME

Born in north of Russia, Ukranian mom and Russian dad. Grew up in Stockholm, Sweden with a Greek step-father. Lived in France for 5 years, with my French-Argentinian bf. "Where do you come from?" is not the easiest question to answer! :) Might be that patchwork of cultures and languages that makes me so interested of the CS-project with the exchange you can get from meeting people from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

If you can dream, you can do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a CS since 2011. I like to meet people, host when I can and be hosted when possible.

For me it's natural to host and to help travellers when I can. I enjoy every experience, because it's different every time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a bit monomaniaque, cause I'm reading much in the field of what I'm doing at the moment. I've started a non-profit called "The language caravan", so at the moment I'm reading much about languages.

In Toulouse we have nice cinemas, so I like to go and see small and non-commercial movies.

About music, then I prefer live-concerts and small festivals. My boyfriend is a musician (clarinet, saxophone), so I'm truly blessed with music! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in the woods, next to the waterfalls, for three weeks on a wild island in Greece. Amazing nature and moments shared with extraordinary people!

Teach, Learn, Share

It's difficult to say what I can teach you, maybe more of the languages I speak and the countries in which I have lived. I am interested to learn Spanish better, and also more about different cultures. And I'm intersted in yoga and meditation, so more of that of course ! :) Share beautiful moments!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook homemade food. As my stepfather is Greek, and he had restaurants for 30 years, I'm very inspired by their healthy food style. Greek food is awesome! And of course, I know how to cook French, Russian and Swedish food as I lived in those countries. I would be happy to cook together. :)

I have worked with languages since 5 years,so I can give you some advice in how you can learn them easier.

Also, I'm quite of a nomad, so I can give you advices about the places I have lived and travelled in.
