Hi everyone! My name is Vasilisa and I'm from Russia.
I was majoring in international economic relations, and still is eager to discuss the related topics as I am really interested in various approaches to the topic. Also, I was studying 2 languages: English and Japanese.
I specialize in HR analytics now and strongly believe in the data-driven future of every sphere of our lives.
Moreover, I've been dancing for 12 years already and almost stepped on a path of a professional dancer, but changed my mind. It's my hobby right now and I'm dancing contemporary, modern jazz, classic jazz and so on.
I strongly believe that every person you've met changes your personality to some extent. And I really want to become a "multifaceted" person with broaden horizons and no stupid stereotypes. Exessive travelling and communication is, for sure, the main source to achieving it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest, I've just recently learned about this source of finding the place and (what's more important) hosting people all around the world. Having experienced a certain amount of travelling, I can say for sure that spending time with locals was the best time of all the trips!
That's why I am here in a hope to get more links with interesting and various people and, let's be honest, economize a bit (it's not a guilt for a student, I suppose ;)
I'm very upset I cannot invite any guests to my place - I live in a dormitory that has very strict rules and doesn't allow strangers to stay for a night (horrible, right?).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting maid-cafe (Japanese entertainment, where you're beng served by "maids" - waitresses, dressed like anime characters or hostesses, sailors and so on) where I was served by men, dressed like women. Really creepy and super weird, trust me.
