My name is Alina and I’m Russian, currently live Saint Petersburg.

I spend the whole year in China being an exchange student.

I’m a “beginner” traveler, have been to England, Finland, Estonia, Sweden, China, Malaysia and Indonesia :)

I’m a student at Saint Petersburg University. My major is International Relations, and I’m really interested in Asia culture. I study history and culture, politics and languages.

In my free time I enjoy reading classic literature, listen to music and hangout with friends 🙂
Love to dance, sing and making photos, posting them on Instagram and write my personal opinion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make the world better and I strongly believe that seeing the world will help us to become more tolerant and open minded. Without that qualities we are not able to develop 💆🏼‍♀️
