About Me

Hey there! I'm a russian girl living in an amazing city of Saint Petersburg, Russia.
I'm interested in languages, volunteering and activism (women's rights, animal rights, LGBTQ's rights, intersectionality).
People say I'm calm, friendly and kind. I would add that I'm also very open-minded and curious; I might seem shy and quiet at first, but you need get to know me, you won't be disappointed, I promise;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to see the world and meet people from all over the world. I think, to really feel the city or country, you need to live like a local. And couchsurfing seems like the best option. You get to share your experience with other people, you learn something from them and they learn something from you. Isn't it amazing?

Unfortunately, I can't host now, but I really want to as soon as I have my own apartment. But If you find yourself in Saint Petersburg feel free to message me and I'll do my best to meet up with you!

Interests

I love reading, learning new things, I tought myself to play the ukulele and always pick a new language to learn (with no intentions to learn it properly though, i just enjoy the process haha). And I do yoga.
I volunteer for AIESEC sometimes and love it. Also I volunteer at city events and stuff like that. I also work as a babysitter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Whatching the stars in the desert in Israel. That was the most beautiful thing I've every seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you russian if you want to. I'm vegetarian so I can teach you how to cook vegetarian food and also russian food. And probably the ukulele as soon as I learn how to play it myself:)
