I study Linguistics, learn playing the piano and teach children Russian and foreign languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason why I am travelling is not that I want to see famous sights or certain places. What I really appreciate is getting to know new people and their culture, and Couchsurfing gives me such an opportunity.

Interests

Linguistics, indigenous peoples, foreign cultures, language acquisition, pedagogics, spending hours talking about music and literature, cooking, dancing.

Music, Movies, and Books

The list of bands and musicians I love is wide-ranging, my playlist may include everything from 60s French pop to Coil and Psychic TV or operatic arias of German romantic period.
I don't watch many movies though. Some of my favourite films are Hiroshima Mon Amour, The Cranes Are Flying, some classic Old Hollywood movies like All About Eve.
