Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a huge fan of cinematography. I really love movies and can talk about them endlessly. I am also a huge music lover. In my playlist, you can find any genre. I`m also interested in different languages and cultures. I know a lot of things about Asian culture, and Chinese in particular, and just because I grew up in Russia, I also know a lot of things about European culture. Looking forward to learning something new.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled from Chengdu to St Petersburg. 1,5 days, 4 planes, 3 counties, 1 luggage and 0 money. Literally. Add to that problems with custom and loss of luggage. It was crazy trip but great experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I did my bachelor degree at Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, Russia. with the major in Foreign area studies. Then I moved to China and did my masters there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Living in China brings me a crazy story every day. I`d love to share with you my experience. I can also give you a tutorial on surviving in Russia and Asia. Moreover, I can teach you to cook traditional Russian dishes and finally show you what mysterious Russian soul is.
