Hi, My name is Mishania (Misha, Michael, Michele, Miguel),
I am 22 and study urban planning at Higher School of Economics in Moscow. I research how emotions are caused by different types of public spaces.
Before coming to study in Moscow I studied international relations at St. Petersburg State University.
I like travelling, psychology, Dostoevsky, Kandinsky, Rachmaninoff. Write poems in Russian.
I am an urban activist and co-founder of the social project "Mozhem sami" aimed at improving quality of life in Tula, my native city, by organizing educational events and events for entertainment.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I want to know better the culture and the lifestyle of the country or city I travel to, and living and spending time with natives is the best way to do so. It also provides better opportunities for sharing experience in a friendly informal environment.

Centres d'intérêt

Psychology of emotions, art, music and literature of the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century, Latin America and Japan.
I adore novels by Dostoevsky and pictures by Kandinsky.

I also like hockey and play it a little bit.
