I love living and try to enjoy every single moment. And not to be carried away by tomorrow. I also love people, they are the greatest inspiration for me. Can describe myself as relaxed and childish, curious and naive. Languages are a big part of my life, as well as books, music and travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I made a few amazing friends here. I think its a great opportunity to help people, to be of use.

Interests

reading books in paper, especially editions from the soviet times as they smell of my childhood.
Teaching people. kids especially as i am trying to answer all their questions honestly, encourage them to think and dare to say that i am not making bastards out of them.
meeting new people, especially aged ones, who lived through different periods in the country and despite all the shit they saw, still manage to be hungry for life. so, i am trying to be friends with all grannies on my floor.
but all in all, love meeting people of diffreent ages.

I love languages. Russian and English are my favourite ones. If they were people i know exactly what they would be like. Eloquant, coherent with enigmatic deep voices and sarcastic smiles.
For the same reason I love writing letters by hand and watching how the words form the sentence.
