Hello there! I am Alisa, a current student at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, but originally I come from Russia. I am studying linguistics, cross-cultural communication and a bit of journalism. My home university - NRU HSE in Moscow gave me a precious opportunity to participate in Erasmus programme this year. And though I have never been to Spain before this September, I am yearning to explore and familiarize myself with this amazing culture, full of artsy people! This is why I am super excited to visit Madrid - to meet new interesting people, and share my experience as a foreigner <3
I love quality cinema, photography, dogs and techno parties. Will be so happy if you host me !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am yearning to explore the world, but though I am a student, I do not have an opportunity to book those luxurious hotel rooms and so on. This is why I am so hoping that there are people, who understand it and who are open to people like me.
When I have my own apartment, I will be a host for people like me now. Definitely.
