I am currently on a motorcycle trip from Europe to Australia and I would love to meet new people on the way!
I am 31 years old, was born in Moscow but left after school and lived in few countries - for both study and work reasons. I have spent most of this time in Ireland which is a lovely country with very friendly people - I hoped I learned how to be friendly from them as well! I work in IT and switching from a corporate world to freelance now, as I am planning to travel extensively over the coming months. I like to play tennis, some active sports such as mountain biking, snowboarding or surfing.
I can be a little reserved/introvert-ish first, but quickly open up! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking forward to meeting new people, both through staying at your place when travelling, or hosting at my place when there is a chance/opportunity!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything, though I prefer rock music. Good for roadtrips as well! The modern pop music bores me a bit cause it sounds all the same, but I have to endure it cause I also do West Coast Swing dancing and that's what they play there!
For movies, I usually say that if the movie prompted me to learn more, at least open Wikipedia, it was a good movie. As such, I really like movies that are at least somehow based on real history or real stories. For example, Argo prompted me to learn about Iranian revolution, whereas Rush more about history of car racing. However, when the mood is right, I don't mind watching some light comedy just to cheer up! :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
