A journalist from Siberia, Russia (and yes, it is cold here). I study at the local university and learn languages (I`m focused on Spanish at the moment).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love discovering other cultures because I do appreciate the experience. Every moment influences on us a lot and makes us more genuine. And meeting new people is the best way to such an experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like watching and discussing movies. (Ones which I really like - Swiss Army Man, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Drive, Todo Sobre Mi Madre, En man som heter Ove.)

Love modern literature both fiction and non-fiction. Favorite modern writer - Orhan Pamuk and W. G. Sebald, the favorite nonfiction book published last year - SPQR (history of ancient Rome is fantastic!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I`ve got down the mountain on the rope, which was incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I study journalism and work in a local magazine (so I`m quite good at listening). Also, I`m a tutor and teach German.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a flair for cooking, especially for baking cakes, pies and other delicious things which will blow your mind. I`m really into languages and other cultures and love talking and discussing interesting things - starting from old sayings to modern politics.

At least, I can teach you how to swear in Russian :-)
