About Me

Hey,
In November '14 my life became really different: I went out from my comfort zone (bed-food-tv series) and came to London for a year to be a volunteer in a circus school.
I had no friends there so I joined CS to find some people to hang out with.
Now I'm in China and I have the same problem again :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, new friends, get new experience.
It's my first time in China and Beijing. I'm sure there are so many places to visit here. I want to explore the city and it's always better when you have a company, isn't it?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent one year in London as an EVS-volunteer
Juggled on top of a phone booth in Edinburgh
Walked on 5-foot stilts (like a few meters but it still counts, right?)
Stood on the border between Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg
Took a selfie with Richard Ayoade
Was at the party with Courtney Love in Berlin

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a quick learner.
You know, there are two kinds of people: 1) who know what they want and great at what they're doing and 2) who want to do everything so they can do a lot of things but they aren't great at anything. So, that's me.
Definitely I can teach you Russian =)
UPD. I can juggle now so I can teach you how to juggle. Also I can do a lot of different things, just can't come up with anything at the moment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some Russian dishes for you. Also I'm a good baker (that's what people say though).
I can tell you some stories about my experience at home and in London, moan about british people, weather and cultural differences =)

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Russian Federation, United Kingdom
