Hello, my name is Maria. I'm from Kazakhstan but few years ago I moved to Russia.
Actually, when someone ask me to tell something about myself, I'm always confused. But, I'll try, huh. 🙄
I'm in love with the beauty of the world. I want to see every part of it, as much as I can. Now I'm a student and I want to connect my future job with traveling. I like to explore new places, I like meeting new people, sharing my stories with them and listening to their stories. Except for that, I love reading books, listening to the music, I like learning languages, someday I will start learning Japanese. Sometimes I do sport (I like jogging, fencing, playing badminton, dancing). And, of course, I really like to sing and play the guitar.
I'm an open-minded person, I can always find a topic to discuss it with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel a lot and meet new friends all around the world, I want to share knowledge and experience with interesting people.
