“Travel leaves you speechless and then turns you into a better storyteller” - this is my life slogan... I am a passionate traveler from Russia, looking for new adventures and opportunities to explore different cultures. I grew up in provincial town in Russia called Yoshkar-Ola and then moved to the incredibly beautiful capital of Tatarstan, Kazan. In 2023 I became the finalist of Year of Exchange in America for Russians program and now I am enjoying 9 months of studying in college in Wisconsin. So far I have visited 6 unique states of America which had offered me outstanding experience. Exploring all that different cities and seeing breathtaking landscapes I caught a travel bug. To be honest, I travelled a lot all over the Europe and absorbed knowledge of many countries and cultures which I am more than willing to share. But I can't stop being surprised by the variety and versatility of America. Being an exchange student who majors in Chemical Technology, I am extremely excited to start my travels around the US!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
I would love to explore the Unites States as much as possible, gain precious experience meeting interesting people with whom I can get to know more about American culture. I would really like to immerse myself into the culture to fullest. Fortunately, Couchsurfing provides people with this amazing opportunity!!!
Musique, films et livres
Music: I can't imagine my life without music. I like to listen to classical music when I'm preparing for exams. My favorite composers: Sergei Rachmaninov, Fryderyk Chopin, Peter Tchaikovsky From the modern I like to listen to Ed Sheeran, Joji, The Weekend, Mac Miller, Zoloto, Hozier Movies and series: There will be blood, Amelie, No country for old men, Breaking bad, Vikings, The Lord of the rings. Books: I adore reading Russian classical literature, because Russian literature is rich in aestheticism and morality, a subtle understanding of human morality and deep insight into the human soul. I like to read the works of Mikhail Bulgakov, Lev Tolstoy, Alexander Kuprin
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
Won a grant to study in the USA for an entire academic year! I climbed Elbrus (a mountain in Russia) to a height of 3847 meters above sea level! I was with friends in the northernmost part of Europe!
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
I came to US as a cultural ambassador and my aim is to present Russian culture and learn deeply American culture. I can share Russian culture and traditions, teach you a few words of my language, show my favorite cartoons and tell Russian folk tales. It will be a pleasure for me to cook our national dishes!
