We`re a couple, that is always open for communication with new people and making friends! Boris and I were studied together at Peter the Great Saint-Petersburg Polytechnic University and both can speak mandarin and moreover, both of us have a year long experience of living in China.

What I can say about myself is that I`m eager to learn new things and currently I`m practicing calligraphy and learning Chinese arts. I`m an active person and I do yoga, I love riding on a bike and walking.

As for Boris, he is a musician. He`s been playing in a band since he was 14. Boris went to a musical college where his major was classical guitar. Currently he plays such instruments as guitar, banjo,bass and guzheng. The genres of bands, he`s in vary from New orleans jazz to Oldschool psychedelic rock and stoner doom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason why we`re on Couchsurfing is because we love to meet people all around the world and it`s a good opportunity to get the very inside view on a city and life of local people and plus it`s simply a way to save money, so you can spend it on stuff that really worth it, like local food, great beer, museums and souvenirs! :)
