Hey! I’m Maria and I love travelling as well as meeting new people, searching for new experiences and writing about it (I hope one day I’ll write my own book about all the crazy adventures I’ve had in my life and marvellous people I’ve met).

I moved to France a year ago and now I’m working in Reims as Russian language teacher. I’m really passionate about teaching and working with teenagers, I think we can learn a lot from them having a dialog about languages and cultures.

Currently I’m on holidays so I’d love to visit as much as possible in France (I love this country: I’ve already been to Normandie: Le Havre, Étretat, Honfleur, Deauville, Caen, Le Mont-Saint-Michel; Provence: Aix-En-Provence, Marseille, Avignon, Arles, etc; Paris, Lyon, Lille, Grand Est region) but also in other countries of Europe. I’m eager to meet local people to share our life experiences, to make new friends and to discover this world together.

I’m interested in culture (always visiting museums and theatres, adoring classic music concerts and ballets), in hiking (I can’t imagine my life without long strolls, bike trips, mountains and the sea; I dream to go to the ocean and to learn to surf). I’m also animal lover: I have a dog, he is the cutest and the most adorable dog in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling as well as meeting new people, searching for new experiences and writing about it so I think CS gives this incredible opportunity to make new friends all over the world and to inspire each others to discover new places, new cultures, new traditions.
