Hello everyone, my name is Alyona. I'm from Russia. I am a student. I'm 20 years old. I like to learn the culture, customs and traditions of different countries, that's why I have been dreaming of traveling since my childhood. I study English, but my level is not good enough yet. I think that traveling will help me improve it. I'm calm, I do not like being late, I always clean up after myself. I'm not registered in facebook, because in Russia social network Vkontakte is more popular. Here is a link to my page (https://vk.com/id318713582 )

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading, hiking, socializing, music.
My hobby is a collection of books. I want to assemble my personal library. I already have more than 25 books, and this is just the beginning. I like classical literature (Tolstoy, Pushkin), poems (Yesenin, Lermontov, Mayakovsky, Rozhdestvensky, Tsvetaeva, Akhmatova, Akhmadulina), classical detectives (Doyle, Agatha Christie), fantasy (J.Martin). «The Little Prince» by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is my favorite book. I believe this book teaches us to be children, to see happiness in small things and not to forget about what is really important.
Films
I like good films. I also love comedies and documentaries. The film that impressed me lately is Pay It Forward 2000. I think that the main character of this film offered a great idea. It's like a "boomerang rule". Do good deeds, and it will return. I believe that this really works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went camping in winter on Mount Litovka. Its height is 1279.4 m. It is the second highest mountain peak of the Livadia Range. Often visit this mountain in the warm seasons, and ours hiking was an experiment. It was an unforgettable, fun, difficult and wonderful journey. It gave a lot of positive emotions.
