I am 21 yo, was born and grew up in Moscow. I am currently doing my Bachelor in History of Art in an astonishingly beautiful small town Heidelberg in Germany. In 2016/17 I am going to make my exchange year (Erasmus) in Valencia and I am going to travel around Spain a lot, because it's an awesome country with different cultures and that's exactly what I like - getting to know other cultures and meeting new people. I am interested in music, films and literature, so I'm sure there will be enough to talk about if you are into those things as well. I am open-minded and easy-going, I like hanging out and making music. Some people even say that I'm funny, but those are highly subjective opinions.

I strongly believe that people should live in peace and share their cultures, especially now, when the internet makes it so easy. I enjoy learning languages because they are opening so many new horizons and enables me to know so much more about the people and the world.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

It's an amazing possibility to know local people that are awesome and open-minded enough to show their area and to share their personal space with complete strangers they have never met before!
