I am a kind and sociable girl. I was born in Russia, but immediately after the war began I moved to Armenia, and two years later I received an artist-in-exile visa and now live in France. I often travel and love to listen and tell interesting stories. In Armenia I have done many concerts and festivals, and now I am engaged in creative production in advertising.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I want to travel and learn the real culture of the place I visit. I want to know how the locals really live and what they think.
Music, Movies, and Books
Most often I listen to post-punk, indie, synthpop and coldwave. But my musical taste is very diverse. In Armenia, I organized many concerts of artists from different countries and I hope that soon I will be able to do the same in France. Of course, I love cinema, lately I prefer films by Paolo Sorrentino, Wong Kar-wai or Jim Jarmusch. But I always like to learn and watch new good films! Unfortunately, lately with the high pace of life I don’t have time to read often, but I love authors like Venedikt Erofeev or Sergey Dovlatov.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Once I had to spend the night at a Turkish train station with refugees from Afghanistan, since the Iranian border was closed for the night - they turned out to be very nice and kind people, and in the morning I went on a trip around Iran with a host from couchsurfing :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I often help my acquaintances in their life difficulties, try to look at the situation from another perspective and direct them. I can try to help you too :) I am quite an erudite and interesting person, so I can maintain a conversation on almost any topic.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can tell you funny stories from my travels and life, share my knowledge or just chat :)
