About Me

Easy-going and open-minded.

I really want to accept guests, but it's impossible while living in the campus :(

But I definitely will after graduation from FEFU!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

`°*★

"I climb the steps of the Scot monument every morning and all becomes clear. Wish I could make you see this brightness. Don’t worry, all is well. All is so perfectly, damnably well. I understand now that boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention if only one can first conceive of doing so. My life extends far beyond the limitations of me."

It gives me the same feeling. Like there is no real boundaries in the world, and those that are illusional doesn't matter anymore. I simply love the idea — and eager to experience it myself.

I think it's amazing to have friends all over the world. We're all wondering under the same sky, so... with all excuses — we are not so different as we used to think.

Interests

Once I'd been saved by Japanese music, and since then it's never let go of my life. I've started to learn Japanese by myself, using YouTube lessons — just to be able to understand lyrics and tweets/livestreams of its creators, and now I study Japan (culture, language, economics, etc) in University, because I love this language and culture so much that the idea of teaching it in future doesn't frighten me anymore.
My hobby is translating utaite/VocaP songs and tweets to Russian. I'm also trying to work on my indie game, but it is hard to combine with University business consuming all my time, so the progress is in a very slow mode now.

Teach, Learn, Share

:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you Russian — language, culture, and whatever you're interested in; same works for English, but please keep in mind that I'm not An Expert in this area since English is not my mother tongue and I just learned it by myself because all we had in school was French (which I hardly remember now, but want to practice too!) ~

Denmark, Finland, Sweden

Countries I’ve Lived In
