I would like to explore how the city impacts happiness, routines, and goals of people with the same values as I have.
My values are education, happy way of life, communication, and the joy of work.

I love foreign culture and I'm open to the new experience but I'm a bit too curious and may ask you thought-provoking questions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling.
Meeting new people and seeing new cities from other person's perspective is the best part of traveling for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Totally I've spent more than half of a year camping using a tent to the north of the north arctic circle

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and would like to learn almost anything that makes your life more interesting.

I've got an analytical mind and I love to solve problems so I can listen to you and look at your dreams, projects, life or goals from the different perspective, it may be helpful.

I love planning both at home and at work, I can share my vision on how to turn goals into a plan, how to add new habits and maybe how to live a little bit happier life. I made a talk about happiness a couple of weeks ago at a local event.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell about modern Russian culture: music, films, runet (Russian language is the second most common language in the internet).
I can share my stories, my knowledge about rationality, happiness, agile, software design and many more topics.
