Hi! My name is Arina and I’m 21 y.o. I live in Russia and love my country so much. I’m a simple and kind person, really friendly, that’s why, maybe, have so many good people around me. I study at university and my major is English, French and Turkish languages, by the way, I’m a future teacher. My English level is advanced, Turkish is not so bad and I just started to learn French. Also I’m fond of photography. I really love this hobby and I earn on it. I live in a small town in Russia which doesn’t have any places to visit and to watch, that’s why I want to travel to meet with new people, to learn about our world and to know how perfect it is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel somewhere else as I said before. For example now I want to plan my travel to Italy, but I really don’t have anyone there, that’s why maybe I’m here. As for me, it’s really great to meet people from other countries, also who can help you in such a situation. When I went to turkey, I had there so many people whom I met in USA and I felt myself safely.

Interests

As I said, I love photography. I’m really fond of this. I can spend so many time doing smth in photoshop. And I like and want to travel a lot. This is my goal for the future life. And I didn’t mention that I can sing. I was going to the musical school for 5 years and now it’s my small hobby, especially when nobody is at home and I can sing as loud as I want

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love different kind of music from rap to pop, my favorite singer is The Weeknd and I dream to visit his concert. As for the books, I love to read Steven King. And I like to watch action and science fiction movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a participant of the Work and Travel program. I went to USA and were living there 4 months. I traveled perfect places there like Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York and I really fell in love. Also I was working in Turkey for 3 months and got used to the culture of this country. Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya — places that worth to see.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you something about Russian culture and also can share some experiences about the USA, about Turkey. I didn’t travel a lot, but even from these 2 countries I got so much experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you my language, can tell you so many things about my country, can bring you something from Russia also , and I can tell you about my small travel experience:)
