18 years of my life I lived near White Sea in the edge of the world:)and had no travellings, but I dreamed about it. Now I understand that it's easier and even better than it seemed. My first three-weeks travelling through the Europe in 2015 was amazing and interesting. I had no experience, but dealt with it without any unpleasant accidents(almost). I think that we need such adventures in our life, because we can see how people live in other countries, we learn to understand yourself, understand what we want in our life, except of that I really have a rest in other cities, with other people, engoying different nature. I don't understand people, who wants to spend money for eating and living in hotels, it's rather boring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to meet new friends, so I can know about them countries, cultures, to have a fun. Also, it's a cheapest way to travel(and the most interesting). I'm rather modest and can live in different accomodations)

Interests

Walking. In 6 years old I knew full map of my city (more than 300000 people) and forced my mom to visit all remote streets and places:)In 11-12 me and my friend used to ride bikes and to travel in white nights far away)When I moved to St. Petersburg - I found my heavens:D In this city you can walk 5 years and constantly open new places. Sometimes I earn money walking with letters, documents and other things, I know city well and I can go so quickly, that people wonder)
Travelling. Before 11 years old me and father had drived to Belarus to my grandparents every summer. It was very interesting for me, I watched through the window and saw different cities, changing nature. I liked roads, even road signs))In univercity times I travelled in Crimea, European countries, Georgia and with every travelling I desired it more. Most of my favourite memories are connected with travellings.
Swimming. Firstly I have swum across 1 km-width river with cold water in 14 years. Now I understand that swimming is the best sport for me. I feel satisfied, peaceful and quiet after every training in the pool. As I know, swimming is helpful for the most of systems of organism. It raises my endurance and improve my body moderately.
Geography. This hobby began from early childhood. I used to look on the map of the world or former USSR and to imagine how I drive from city to city. It is really strange, that in 6 years old I could name any capital even in Africa, I disputed with adults and won.(Many of them think that New York is the capital of "America" and Sidney is the capital of Australia until this moment)In school I was only teen who knew magic word Antananarivo:)And I was only one in Arkhangelsk region, who passed geography exam ideally. After that I went in one of the best university in Russia to geography faculty. But regretfully geographical education in Russia is weak-developed and I don't know where I can work with this diploma(
Geopolitics. It's my science sphere)In last 5 years I created geopolitics maps of Eastern Europe and Africa, using different indicators such as population, economic situation and outside influence. Also, I took a part in creating of conflict atlas of Muslim world.
Films. Maybe in that sphere my tastes are usual. List of favourite films you can see down)My favourite genres are drama and fantastic films. I like comedies too, but I can't name many good comedies.
Meteorology. I interest weather and climate very much. I like weather forecasts and archives. It's hard to explain:))
Hip hop dance. I like different music. I can listen sad and fun, hard and melodic music. Two years ago my dream came true. I thought that I was very old to learn dancing and I really danced near group of 12-17 girls:D But I was happy, when I learnt somewhat. Unfortunately, I have no money to keep it, but I hope to the future)
Taking photos. I like to take bad photos of my friends and to laugh))Except of that, I like to photo landscapes and nature. Regretfully I don't have a good camera
