A HSE linguistics student, Nizhny Novgorod, Russian Federation, at the moment - Erasmus+ exchange student in FSU Jena.

Enjoying travelling and walking around, trying my best at finding common ground with other people, despite being an observing and listening type :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Found a wonderful community of people keen on travelling, meeting others and sharing their stories.

I find it a potentially good way of hugely enhancing any travelling experience :D

Interests

• literature
• theater
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: whatever fits at the moment! All sorts of stuff from Ella Fitzgerald to such niche things as german covers of pseudo-german songs (would love to explain to you, what I mean by it :D)
Love and am capable of playing piano, just can not always find an instrument to practice.

Books: same story, one day I finish "The Dream in the Red Chamber", next day find myself reading about the history of cryptography

Films: (yeah, you see the tendency) - same story :) Everything from "Swiss Army Man" through "Good Will Hunting" or "Once upon a time in America" to the new Star Wars movie!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Passed a Cambridge exam for C2 the same year as being published (for the first time, yay!) in international conference proceedings and frantically learning Chinese from scratch
