About Me

My favorite quote is
"There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, the other is getting it" (G.B.Shaw)

I have graduated from the university this year and now I work in DHL, the world's most international company, as customer advisor in Moscow, travel only on my vacations.

I CAN HOST ONLY IN SUMMERTIME. Because I live with my family, and in summer they always move to our countryhouse. But I have so busy schedule, so write me in advance.

I HAVE A BOYFRIEND. So please don't write me if you just liked my photos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that truly valuable things can't really be bought for money. People who are searching for hosts there have to be awesome and interesting for others. Therefore traveling in this way motivates couchsurfers to be charismatic, it inspires them to seek for their strenghts and good features, and this is what I like about this platform. I want to stay hip!

Interests

Sociology: I have been studying it for six years and I am really keen on this science.

Traveling: I'm exploring the world and try not to miss any opportunity to travel somewhere!

Movies: I like watching movies, I have my own list of my favorites, and i can recommend you some!

Dancing: I have 6 years experience of dancing hip-hop and 3 years of contemporary. Currently I join dance company which is more experimental.

Cheerleading: I started a year ago, but have already performed in on stage, winning second place within EuroCup held by DHL company :)

Car: I like driving, especially at nighttime (when Moscow is amazing), I like to travel by car.

Also I like drawing, making collages, photography, bicycling, swimming, playing badminton, ping-pong.
I like animals and children! I have two little sisters and I try doing my best to help my mother to take care of them! Also I have a cat and a dog :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I think I can't live without music - any kind of music!
Some favourites:
Nirvana, Placebo, The Weeknd, Slipknot, Made in Heights, The Neighbourhood, Nickelback, The XX, Gramatik, Arctic Monkeys and many Russian artists (Lumen, Би-2, Zemfira, Splin).
Also I reverence classical music, I believe it helps me to relax and to think about the eternal.

I adore watching movies! I have my own top-250 list of favorite movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There were so many breathtaking moments in my life - when I've tried rafting, paraglider, or riding having hooked on the back of electric train...
Or several times when I stayed in unfamiliar cities for couple of days without any money and had to just survive, living like a homeless...
Or every time I perform something on stage (dance or having speech)

But I think that the most amazing things are relationships between people and memories which connect them. The things I've done which were really amazing are my feelings towards people whom I love.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would prefer to host people who are native speakers of English because I want to improve my English :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can try to teach you some basics of Sociology - it is amazingly interesting science!
I can teach you Russian language a bit :)
and I am passionate with Russian poetry, I can tell you some Russian poems :)

Also I can show you my city, I was born in Moscow and live here all my life.
