Born and raised in Siberia, Russia, at the beautiful lake Baikal. Currently live in Atlanta and explore the US when the opportunities roll in.

I hitch-hike. It's seriously the best way to travel because then you meet a ton of amazing people that you would not have met if you chose to drive or fly and stay in a hotel room by yourself. I hitchhiked in Russia some, but most of my experiences were and are here, around the US.

I enjoy everything that deal with visuals and colors, that is, I guess, the reason why I am currently so heavily involved in film-making, production, and photography. Still learning, of course, but this is the most enjoyable learning experience I have ever had. Here is my photo website - http://www.amalkova.com/ , hope you enjoy it!

Love God and people.

Have 4 cats back in Russia, they live with my family. And here in the US I have a pet rat Zelda, she is very cute and thinks she is a dog.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
