About Me
"Nothing behind me, everything ahead me, as it is ever so on the road"
My two greatest passions in life are music and traveling. I haven't seen as much as I want , that's why I'm trying my best to travel around the world. I study Music Management in Saint Petersburg University of Culture, I write music and play multiple musical instruments. What's more, I love singing good old songs, so if you fancy cosy evenings with music and talking, I will be more than pleased to keep you company.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As I mentioned earlier, traveling is one of my greatest passion. Recently, I've realised that I no longer want hotel traveling and I need to try something new. Also, I love meeting new people and learning more about other cultures. And what's the best way to do it? Talking to locals, of course!

Music, Movies, and Books
I mostly listen to indie music, but I'm really keen on old-school rock, glam-rock, punk, dream-pop and british bands. The Libertines and The Strokes have been my favourite bands for ages! I love Soviet movies as well as American films Tarantino-style. Despite the fact that my favourite directors are Xavier Dolan, Jim Jarmush and Tim Burton, I'm truly obsessed with Forrest Gump (for no reason really). I am also a huge fan of tv-series (the office, it's always sunny in philadelphia and others).
As for the literature, it's complicated. Russian classic literature is inspirational, emotional, historical, monumental.. At the same time, I am crazy about beat-generation writers. ON THE ROAD FOREVER!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've studied, worked and lived in Toronto, Canada with a pityful sum of money in my pockets. It was an extremely challenging experience! However, I loved it there, because I was studying what I really loved: Music, Theatre and Dance.
Teach, Learn, Share
I guess I can teach you how to play piano, guitar or how to sing. If you are struggling with learning English or planning your future trip to Russia, I'll be there to help you with advise!
