I love nature, animals, people, young people aka children, travels and travel stories, playing music, playing in general and being not very serious about life. I'm curious about the world and trying to learn from everyone and everything around me.

Right now I’m in Brazil 🇧🇷 which is actually my dream 🫶 Through volunteering, I already have visited several states and had some amazing time while exploring and learning new things like gardening, agroforestry, outdoor education, community living, solidarity economy and etc. I love Brazil, its nature and culture, people, so now I am planning to stay here and explore it more ✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing changed my world perception to the better. I surf, i host, i find precious people and awesome adventures!

Interests

I like learning new things, reading lots of books at the same time (not effective though), trying out some extreme sports from time to time, playing piano and ukulele (but i'm not a pro), playing with dogs, hiking, swimming, traveling, exchanging ideas, laughing, hugging, being happy

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: folk, electronics, jazz, rockopops, soul and many more. I'm in love with self-made musicians. I'd love to listen to what you like!

Movies: I love film festivals, documentaries, short films and many more. Some Netflix of course. For a while I was a part of team of ECOCUP Green Documentary Film Festival, which organises screenings of the best (new) documentaries about planet and people.

Books: futuristic-becoming-realistic anti-utopias, biographies, non-fiction about feminism, decolonisation, art and activism, classics like Chekhov, Bulgakov and Orwell, and plenty of scientific articles about cities and stuff (urban studies).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Born and still alive

Teach, Learn, Share

I am curious about future of the planet and people - I can discuss it for hours (you are warned).
I'm always up to participate in a music jam or improv theater jam.
And of course I'd like to learn some of your native language, your culture and your way of life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m always here to help you out with home care, from washing dishes to small construction and repair projects.
I would love to cook for you something from Russian and Turkish cuisine.
I can share my stories and perspectives on what’s going on in Russia now (I’m against the war with Ukraine).
I can suggest ideas for collective/circle activities aimed on learning from each other and creating connections.
I can teach basics of music theory, embroidery, crocheting.
I can be also helpful for learning and practicing your Russian (including creating/recording/filming some silly song video).
