Hi! I am Maya from Russia. Foreign languages are my passion. I studied German and then I worked as German teacher. But I cant stay too long in one place, so I worked as au pair in Germany and China. Now I am doing my social year in Germany with severely handicapped people. This is not an easy job, but these people teach me a lot. I admire their patience and joy of life. I like to travel and to learn new countries and cultures. I am environmentally friendly, eat mostly organic and no meat. I love nature. my philosophy: don`t dream it, do it! everything is possible, for impossible you just need a little more time :) ...looking for the answer, does anyone care about human soul, but really, in the first place?

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I do love traveling and meeting new friends. A lot of unusual things happen and are found during travel. Especially if you know how to see the unusual in everyday things. But above all, these are the people I meet on my way. They teach and inspire me.
Music, Movies, and Books
I really enjoy reading. It is also a way to travel. I love the Russian classics especially Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Akhmatova. And I'm a fan of Harry Potter:) I like indie, folk and alternative music and I love listening to someone who plays guitar. different films, the main thing is that they make sense.
