PHILOSOPHY Stay open. Stay curious. Stay creative. ABOUT ME Hi there! I'm just a Russian girl who loves getting to know different corners of our amazing world. As trivial as it sounds, I do enjoy this the most! The last two years I spent in Southern California and Washington, D.C. fulfilling my academic and professional dreams. Right now I'm back home in Russia preparing myself for a new chapter in my life. I love to travel, explore new places, be outdoors or stay indoors (well, that depends on a day) and do some interesting and adventurous things with like-minded people. I so love being in the company of international people as I learn from them so many cool things, and right now I have probably more friends in other parts of the world other than Russia (don't get me wrong, Russian people are awesome, too!). I'm a pretty open-minded, fun loving and naturally curious person. Oh, and one more thing, probably most of all I like laughing and making people laugh.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Art
Fluent in English
Learning French
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Honestly, I've just recently started exploring the world of Couchsurfing. I've heard a lot of good things about it from my friends and I figured it's a good way to meet adventurous and open-minded people and have a good conversation or even maybe go on a trip! In fact, my first (and the only) experience with CS was an organized road trip with some CSers which I really enjoyed (You can see a picture of me and my three amazing couchsurfing friends in my profile). And I'm so excited to continue my exploration:)
Music, Movies, and Books
I like when people share their favorite music bands, interesting books that they recently discovered or movies that impressed them. That's probably why I have a lot of very different favorite songs, books and movies.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The most amazing things that have happened to me were unexpected, spontaneous and "why-the-heck-not" decisions. But if to choose the biggest life-changing experience, that rewired my mind, I'd say it's my studying abroad years in California.
Teach, Learn, Share
I personally think I can teach, learn and share through intellectual and fun conversations.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Good and fun time!
My Interests
I'm really into intercultural communication and cooperation, personally and professionally. I am passionate about contributing to international peacebuilding efforts through building effective communication between people from different cultures. The fun stuff and hobbies would include outdoor activities (hiking, cycling, walking, swimming). I also like hanging out in Art museums, used book stores, and live music venues. So I think I'm pretty much down for everything!
