Hi there!
My name is Yuliya (but you can call me Julia, July or whatever, I don't really care) and I'm from Russia. To be more precise, my motherland is Siberia (yes, it's not the same as Moscow or other places in central Russia).
I am probable very typical Russian: little bit cold outside and warm and friendly inside. In other words, if you see my smile, you can be sure, what it's totally sincere (and I'm pretty sure you will).

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I believe that the best way to know the country is to know its people (or at least those who live there for a while). I'm tired to be tourist, not traveler, that is why I desire to meet new people and learn more about their culture and thoughts.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Music. I feel like being a melomaniac (as we call it in Russia at least). I can fall in love with so different music styles: from neoclassical (e.g. Egor Grushin) to rock (e.g. Rammstein), from rap (e.g. Big Baby Tape) to russian neofolk (e.g. Zhenya Lubich) and so on :)

Some of my favorite books:
- Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell
- Lord of the Flies by William Golding
- The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
- Harry Potter by J.K.Rowling
- The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
- The Black Obelisk by Erich Maria Remarque
- The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
- Three apples fell from the sky by Narine Abgaryan
- The Godfather by Mario Puzo
- etc (I'm pretty sure we have at least one favorite book in common since I really enjoy reading).

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can share my thoughts and knowledge in some topics (I especially love sharing some behavioral and psychological life hacks, moreover we can talk about sports, cooking, career, studying, hobbies and so on).
If you want to feel a bit of Russian culture without leaving your own country, feel free to ask me to share some exciting facts about Russia, or to teach you some basic Russian, or to cook something (I cannot promise something difficult though :) ).
