Hey! My name is Julia and I'm 24. I live in Novosibirsk, the third biggest city in Russia. I work as a teacher of English and French at a language center and I really enjoy making and doing something unusual.

Currently I'm a Fulbright scholar at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and I'm teaching Russian to American students. (Yeap, there are some courageous and smart students you want this challenge).

I'm a talkative and kind person, who is always smiling. So it's really easy to get along with me :)

I live my life to understand people around me, to find the condition of a full harmony inside me and to learn as much as possible about the world.

I'd be really happy to stay at your place while I'm travelling during school breaks and enjoy spending time together.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Before Couchsurfing I've had an experience in discovering Novosibirsk and Russian culture to foreigners (Belgium and American exchange students and professors, etc.)
If you are going to visit Novosibirsk, I can recommend you some interesting places and even go here with you;) But be ready that I'll ask you a lot of questions about your country!

Now I'm exploring American culture and share Russian one thanks to Fulbright. Being in the US is a great chance to travel and meet new people. So I'm determined to take all the advantages of it.
