I am a promising young Fashion Design student, Art lover, English tutor & so much more.
Currently learning ballet dancing and photography.
I maintain an active lifestyle and always stay positive.
Having many interests and hobbies, I pay a lot of attention to life planning, goal setting and time management. However, this still allows me to "relax and live the moment" sometimes.
I love travelling in all its ways - spontaneous journeys as well as well-planned trips.

My top 3 qualities are Creativity, Motivation and Drive. I am neat & tidy, responsible, sociable, easy-going, tolerant, honest and kind. I am a good storyteller and an even better listener.
I love spending quality time with my family and friends, meeting new people. At the same time, I can be just fine on my own.

I live up to the saying "Do what you love, love what you do".
I also love this quote from my favourite "Walter Mitty" film:
"To see the world,
Things dangerous to come to,
To see behind walls,
Draw closer, to find each other,
And to feel.
That is the purpose of Life".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me travelling means collecting moments and impressions of different places, and I believe that a place is defined by people who live in it.
I love communicating with people from all over the world and getting to know their way of living, collecting their stories and sharing my own. I hope that Couchsurfing is going to help me with that :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With my friend Valeria here in Saint Petersburg we have started a social project called "Limitless Fashion" helping disabled people look good and feel great - we create clothes for people in wheelchairs that are both stylish and comfortable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Russian, English, drawing and painting, cooking a traditional Russian borsch. I can give tips on finding your personal style and arranging your wardrobe and show a few ballet moves if you want :)

I am eager to learn - everything. I am always interested in other people's lifestyle and way of thinking.

I will be happy to share good time, stories and memories, experience and knowledge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a traveller, I will respect your way of living, house rules and eating habits (except I don't drink milk and don't eat cheese). I am tolerant and flexible.

I am a good storyteller with a lot to share. I can:

Tell about:
- life in Saint Petersburg, the cultural capital of Russia
- study as a fashion designer
- travelling experience

Share - experience in/knowledge of:
- fashion & graphic design
- drawing, painting, (fashion) illustration
- history of arts
- history and culture of Russia
- photography
- (social) project management
- life planning, goal setting
- time management

I am also good at singing and can sing for you/with you whatever song you want me to, in English or in Russian (can try other languages as well - if you teach me how to pronounce the lyrics correctly).

At the same time, I am a good listener. I am always open for conversation, so you can share whatever it is you want to share with me.
