Hi there!
My name is Victoria, I am 20 years old designer, interested in art, books and culture studies.

I am not a hardcore traveler, but try to visit new place every holiday. I've already visited some countries and some areas in the European part of Russia.
Once I went to Stockholm only to visit Coldplay concert. It was the first time I spent 12 hours alone in the foreign country and also find out what Couchsurfing is (my friend found the host).

Sometimes I travel with my boyfriend, who is studying petroleum engineering, play guitar and crazy about cinema.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do not like regular tourist activities. City is people, places are their stories. Of course you need to see Red Square in Moscow, but it is better to also know how locals see it and what happened to them at New Years Eve here two years ago. There are more then one points of view on the places, and I don't want to miss any of the stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I want to know a lot and believe that there is no useless knowledge so I prefer to spend free time with a book and a cup of coffee. I especially love non fiction, pscyhology&productivity literature.

Books>films, because I am too lazy to spend 2 ours just staring at screen ;) but when I do, I never regret. Prefer unusual movies (do not like blockbusters), my favorites were filmed in the 1960s in USSR.

I listen all music I find interesting, from British indie to Russian rap. Always open to find out something new!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Become a godmother (not a mother of dragons unfortunately)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you about art&design (including history, technical aspects, interesting facts and best professional jokes), russian history&culture, discuss mindfulness and productivity. I also can play you an ukulele song and sing with you (not as great as Bob Marley, ofc ;), draw you a doodle/portrait and even bake pancakes.
I am easy going and really like not only talk to people, but also share activities, do something together and create new great memories.
