23-year-old journalist and historian interested in post-Soviet period and urban studies. Adore walking-passing-wandering around my native city and new places.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

My greatest passion is to explore new places and meet new people there. I'm really interested in how persons, brought up in different cultures and circs, percept the world and choose their lifestyles.

Also I'm looking for an opportunity to see the world and improve my colloquial English.

Fan of "Friends", "Black books" and "How I met your mother" sitcoms, "Sherlock" with Cumberbatch and "Adventure time" with Finn and Jake :)

Also:
It is really an exclusive case when I read some book or watch a movie for second time. That's because I'm afraid that my life is too short to consume all the amazing content in the world. So I have to hurry up :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Managed not to kiss Oscar Wilde's headstone and not to spit from the top of the Eiffel Tower while being in Paris (but visited Vladimir Lenin's apartment on the Mary-Rose st., 4)

教，学，和分享

I can show you how to prepare perfect (at least, just not bad) lentil soup (it's really not so hard!) and tell how to differ architecture of ancient Greece from architecture of ancient Rome. But, actually, I like listening more than speaking. :)
