CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a journalist living in Moscow (still studying but working as well), my second career is Chinese language and culture. I'm very curious and excited about travelling. I work as a tutor of Spanish (I've been living in Chile, Latin America) and teaching English in a language school (my English is worse then my Spanish - but my grandma was an interpreter (English-Russian) so it runs in my blood).

PHILOSOPHY

si la vida te regala limones, píde sal y tequila!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in karma: giving opens you up to recieve.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to CS I've met really great people and mostly they have become my real friends (even though we are living far away from each other).
If you come to Moscow I can show you some interesting places, maybe I'm not the best "guide" but if you want to see the real life and not just the Red Square - don't hesitate to contact me.

Surfed in 7 countries at the moment.
