Overview
About Me
I am a student in Paris, I currently study Russian philology and Natural language processing at Inalco.
I am into travelling (ofc hehe), technology, linguistics and history. Furthermore, I practice Krav-maga, I enjoy running and practised kayak for 4 years, and before that I practised archery for 3.5 years.
I like cooking too, I am not a professional but this is something I enjoy, and I feel like it's also needed to stay in good health and shape, otherwise laziness would win and I would eat instant noodles everyday.
I work as a French teacher remotely.
I already travelled in several European countries, I am eager to discover more cultures and languages. I am a bit shy tbh, but I am working on it, but I can guarantee that when I am in my comfort zone I can talk about various topics for hours.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
A friend of mine told me about couch-surfing and that it is a good way to meet people living in the countries you travel in. I had a weird feeling after visiting Austria in December 2022, I got really disappointed I did not meet or talk with any Austrian and I wanted to fix this, I want to truly discover and meet people living in the countries I travel in. As someone who loves to learn languages, it's also a way to give me practice.
I traveled in Germany in September 2023, I used Couchsurfing a lot and met tons of great people, now I want to give back to the community and host myself.

Music, Movies, and Books
I am fond of Eastern-European post-punk, metal and cold-wave, I used to listen a lot of American rap and hip-hop. I also like Finnish metal, I am currently getting more and more into metal as it is not a genre I have been listening for a long time.
My favourite band is Кино (Цой Жив!!) and my favourite artist is Eminem, I am a huge fan of him, I can admit I even have a vinyl, a sweater and 2 hoodies.
I am not into movies a lot, I don't know my favourite film, but I love sci-fi and comedy, especially absurd humour.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'd say having learnt Russian to a pretty good level imo, even though I lack of practice.
I also traveled throughout Germany only by train, with my backpack and Couchsurfing.
