I'm 23, Russian, from Saint- Petersburg and living now in Paris. I speak fluently English, Russian, French and I speak a bit of Italian ! I'm an art management student at ICART Paris. I'm really into art-nouveau, stair cases, rooftops, electro music and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's a great platform for meeting interesting people with different interests from all around the world! That's obviously the best way to travel as it gives a unique opportunity to see the life of a country u go from inside! That's also a pleasure to meet CSers in Saint-Petersburg and meeting travelers when not traveling!

Interests

I really do love traveling and studying foreign languages! I'm really into discovering more about different cultures! Then comes to be architecture (especially art nouveau!!!) and painting. Music came to be very important for me (especially electronic one) and I'm looking for new artists.
