Hi there! My name is Adelina.

I'm a linguistics graduate from Kazan Federal University, though my German (Ich habe Deutsch gelernt, aber ich habe es leider fast vergessen!) is a bit rusty these days. I work two jobs: one in mortgage insurance and the other in player support for a mobile game.

I'm also slowly learning Japanese (日本語を少し話せます).

After a long pause since COVID, I've decided to reactivate my profile! I really miss connecting with people from all over the world and learning about different cultures firsthand. I'm currently planning a trip to Japan with a friend (*last photo*) for the end of October!

I recently moved from Kazan to St. Petersburg about 2.5 years ago and live in a rented apartment, so I can't host travelers at the moment. However, I would be absolutely delighted to meet up for a tea, a walk, or a chat! Just a heads-up: between my two jobs, my free time is very limited, but I will always do my best to make it work.
For my comfort and safety, I feel most comfortable meeting up with women or couples. I hope you understand!
LGBT+ friendly

Can't wait to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people from around the world, make new friends, and explore new places through their eyes

Interests

I really enjoy watching interviews with celebrities, actors, and voice actors. I'm also passionate about anything related to video games. I even used to stream on Twitch as a hobby. I love learning about history and politics, though I have to admit I often forget the details, unfortunately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm... Once helped a stranger having an epileptic seizure in public. I'm oddly calm in crises, probably because I'm used to operating on a low level of constant anxiety (ಥ﹏ಥ)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Oh, just tell me what you'd like and I'll do my best to bring it with me. But I can promise one thing for sure: treats and snacks! I'm also happy to share stories and have a good chat if you're up for it.
