I am a student at St. Petersburg University. I like this city because it's really picturesque. Since I was a child, I like painting and reading. So that I study Russian language and Russian literature and I'm very interested in art. I believe that my lifework is calligraphy and lettering and I am actually keen on it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am fond of travelling. I really want to see the world and find friends around the world, because it's extremely exciting to learn about other cultures. Couchsurfing can help me fulfill my dream.

Interests

Calligraphy and lettering is the art of creating letters. I love writing letters classic fonts. For example, I like Roman square capitals. It is an ancient Roman form of writing. These Roman capitals are also called majuscules.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all the music. Starting from the works of Mozart and ending with the songs of Beyonce or Adele. As for films, I also like different movie genres. I love the Godfather movie, for example. And I just love Quentin Tarantino's films! I reviewed Pulp Fiction many times. At the same time, I like Turkish TV shows. For example, Kara Sevda. I also like Soviet cinema (old black and white Russian films). In childhood, I saw the film Devchata many times and I know it by heart. I really love to read! Most of all I like Russian literature, and I know it best. Pushkin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Bulgakov, Dovlatov, Brodsky are my favourite writers. I also like writings of European authors. And I would like to get acquainted with the literature of the East.
