I'm studying information systems in my hometown St.-Petersburg. I have had one semester in Germany as exchange student. During this period I was traveling a lot and I have founded city of my dream (not surprised it's Paris).

I was working as barista for one summer since that time I'm coffee addicted. One more passion is wine nothing can be better then sitting at some cozy place with glass of wine and of course talking about everything in good company.

My key interest is design, especially fashion field. As well I'm trying myself in clothes producing, not in manufacturing size just for myself and my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me traveling is not only about discovering new places, but about getting to know new people. All amazing ones I've met during my journeys created for me a beautiful picture of the world. So I feel myself really waisting my time if don't meet up with new people.

Only locals can show you the side of city that makes you fall in love with it.

Interests

I can't imagine my life without creating something new by myself. Only by doing something new you can discover and create yourself that's my credo.

I'm kind of sport person not crazy bodybuilder but do it for my pleasure few times a week. Last year I learned to ride a snowboard and surfboard and I really proud of myself. I love feeling of speed snowboard, scoter, car doesn't matter!

And of course I'm crazy about traveling, it's my passion.

Music, Movies, and Books

If we're talking about music I prefer some old school stuff like The Doors, Joy Division, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, David Bowie, The Cure and so on. Also something modern like Parov Stelar, Milky Chance, Alt-j, Vougal, Pompeya, Passion Pit, M83...

I love beat generation Jack Kerouacs and William Burroughs books are my favorite.

I prefer arthaus movies, sometimes documentary films.
