Hi there! I'm Victoria from cold Siberia :)

Now I'm in the USA for an academic year, so I would like to meet new people and have some fun with them! (Grinnell, Iowa)

- a teacher of Russian as a foreign language
- have a lovely cat Basya
- in love with her and all other animals
- grow flowers
- music lover
- like reading the books
- want to take a dog from a shelter
- have a dream to visit as much places as I can

etc...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well I think it's a great opportunity to meet new people and listen to their stories. Also I think that only communicating with people who live in places which you visit you can understand these places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I've saved my friend when she fell through the ice. Dangerous Siberia :D

Teach, Learn, Share

- can cook tasty pancakes
- can help you with Russian
- can advise you lots of good movies and books
- can speak with you endlessly
- can tell you about life in Russia and the stereotypes (omg, I live in Siberia and surely bears live with us haha)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you that Russia is a country which is worth to see. Russians are very kind and we like to speak with people. We think that a good conversation can open your soul to a person.
I'll tell you about my traveling experience and surely about Baikal - the deepest and the cleanest lake in the world. I'm in love with it!
And... i'll show you pics of my lovely cat :)
