I'm Alex from Russia.
I love science, hiking, books (especially science fiction). I want to see more real life, not just a tourist places.
I like to explore diffrerent cultures and lifestyles. I don't like night parties so much (however It would be good sometimes), I'd better prefer sincere conversation over a cup of tea or coffee.

Most of all I like to listen to interesting stories and create new ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to know a lot about live in other countries and to meet great people all around the world. It makes me inspired.

I have a vacation for a three weeks in autumn 2018. So I decided to travel around Europe form Spain to Russia visiting my old friends and finding new ones.

If we are in the same city, I'd be glad to meet you :)
