Overview
About Me
I am a Russian language teacher for foreigners, and I also study and work in the field of psychology and philosophy. I appreciate meaningful conversations that go beyond small talk—I enjoy deep discussions about life, culture, science, and the human experience.
I believe in kindness, mutual support, and mindfulness. I love meeting new people but also respect personal space and boundaries. Trusting the flow of life and seeking harmony with myself and the world around me is something I truly value.
Things I love:
Thinking, learning, and analyzing
Sharing knowledge and discovering new perspectives
Vegetarian food and experimenting with cooking
Walking, especially when I can stop and admire nature
Practicing Portuguese (if you speak it, let’s chat!)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I left Russia. I moved to Brazil to build a new life from scratch, following my values and dreams. It has been a journey of self-discovery, courage, and learning to trust life’s flow.
Teach, Learn, Share
*Teach* : I can teach you Russian, share insights about Russian culture, and discuss topics related to psychology and philosophy. I also enjoy helping people see languages and cultures from a new perspective.
*Learn* : I’m always eager to improve my Portuguese and learn more about different cultures, traditions, and ways of thinking. I’d also love to try new vegetarian recipes!
*Share* : I can share deep conversations, good company, and a mindful approach to life. I enjoy exchanging thoughts, experiences, and different worldviews.
