Hey, I'm Mawt! Born in Moscow, spent my formative years in St Petersburg pursuing a degree in Asian and African studies (linguistics/social anthropology). Currently working as an English teacher and living in Eskişehir, Turkey with my husband while doing my Master's in language pedagogy. Couchsurfing used to be an essential part of my life as both a traveler and a host, but I haven't been active in recent years.

Fiction-wise, I'm into Italian literature A LOT, and here's a list of my all-time favorites: Probably everything by Italo Calvino 'L'Écume des jours' by Boris Vian 'Balthazar and Blimunda' by José Saramago 'Everything is illuminated', 'Extremely loud and incredibly close' by Jonathan Safran Foer 'The twins trilogy' by Ágota Kristóf 'Catch-22' by Joseph Heller 'The suitcase' by Sergey Dovlatov Also, INDIE COMIC BOOKS! I love collecting print comics and getting to know local comic artist scenes. No marvel/dc or weeb shit, please. + A huge advocate of book swapping/book crossing. Also, a huge sucker for second-hand bookstores and public libraries (any tips will be most appreciated). __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Movies: mostly documentaries recently. All-time favorite movie? 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'! Favorite animation films: 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi, 'Sita sings the blues' by Nina Paley, 'Le chat du rabbin' by Joann Sfar, 'I married a strange person!' by Bill Plympton, 'The Prophet' by Roger Allers, some works by Michel Ocelot and Jean-François Laguionie __________________________________________________________________________________________________ TV series: lots, mostly sitcoms. It's always sunny in Philadelphia, Trailer Park Boys, Parks and Recreation, Bojack Horseman, Scrubs etc.
Una cosa increíble que he hecho
Hitchhiked with an ISIS fighter, slept in a remote desert wrapped in the goat skin, spontaneously visited the residence of one country's king, stayed in the house of a security guard of a well-known war criminal and human rights violator... Just to name a few (the 'amazingness' of those, however, is highly debatable).

Can teach you Russian, English, or basics of East African languages (if you ever need them).
