Overview
About Me
I’m a 26 years old linguist from Moscow, Russia. I have been living there with my beautiful family since I was born. Studying and working there. Currently I am doing my PhD studies and work as a freelance teacher of languages.
I am a very open-minded, cheerful and curious about everything person.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music reflects my mood so I can listen to totally different genres. I even went to metal concerts (twice!!! Though not a big fan of this kind of music). Pop music, rock music. I just looove Indian music (God knows why?) and Latin music in its any manifestation. La música que tiene sabor!!!
Love a good movie, especially good drama - my weakness. I like some weird festival European movies (Pedro Almodóvar - one love, Lars von Trier).
Books... such a special subject for me. I am a book worm. My favorite Russian writers are Bulgakov, Lukyanenko. Foreign authors: Khaled Hosseini and Gregory David Roberts. Their books just changed my life. I can talk about books for hours!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sorry, I’m not a hero! But I like to think that every day we do some tiny little but incredible things.
Teach, Learn, Share
My native language is Russian but I also speak pretty fluent English and Spanish. I am a linguist and a teacher of languages so I can share with you some tips and tricks of learning. I am a patriot of my country, so if you want to know about Russia, it’s history and culture - I would love to share my vision and my love to my country. I also have been to some other nice places in the world: Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Turkey, Austria, Costa Rica. To some of them I went as a volunteer teaching languages and others just as a tourist. So stories of my trips are at your service.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Nice conversation, positive attitude, my highest respect to your house and your culture and my cooking skills.
