Hi everyone) My name is Polina or Polya, as you like. My hometown is Yoshkar-Ola, it is located in the Republic of Mari El. A few years ago I moved to St. Petersburg, the "cultural capital" of Russia. I love this city and I will be happy to tell you about it and Russia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a traveler, not a tourist. I want to know more about other countries from people who live there. I hope people can tell more about their real lives than we see from social media.

Interests

I like to be a volunteer at big and small events. For example, last year I was a volunteer at the FIFA World Cup and got a huge experience about communication with people from other countries and organizarion events. Now I'm taking part in a project in the Czech Republic called Edison: Break Cultural Barriers. I'm also fond of other cultures, cooking and cinema.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a meloman. I can listen rock, rap, pop, it doesn't matter if it's cool. But if you ask me about my favourites: Lana del Rey, Imagine Dragons, Billie Eilish, M83, Ed Sheeran, Little big, Oxxxymiron and some Russian singers.
I like to read about psyhology, business, story of success, and classical literature. About cinema... I don' t like films for one time, I like impressive movies that affect my emotions and improve myself.
