About Me

I'm an alien spy (kidding).
Actually, books are all my life (job, hobby et cetera).
I wanted to be a writer when I was a child. And who knows may be it's not too late yet?
I worked night shift bookshop manager in 24h bookshop in the centre of Saint-Petersburg from 2010 to 2016. And nowadays I'm working with publishers as a supply manager in the same company. Workaholic a little.
Try to read 50 and more books per year and visit some new countries. And tend to be easy going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new friends especialy when I travel alone.
And you never know who you can meet in your way (even me!).
I stayed with CS more often (not only few times on my page), because sometimes it was with friends.

Interests

I like sciense especialy astronomy and astrophysics and wish to come back home one day (in Elon Musk we trust).
I adore walking in unknown cities.
I like drinking a wine and prefer dry red. Can play volleyball a little.
I'm a DJ on this internet-radio: https://regress78.com/
And this is one of my broadcasts: listen us every Wednesday at 9-30 p.m. Gtm +3 (in russian) https://regress78.com/eto-norma-vostochnaya-evropa/
Also like swimming. And sunny days (but it's almost impossible in Spb).
