I am a marketing specialist from Kazan, Russia. The main thing about me - l like researching people, knowing more about their lifestyle and thoughts.

In past I used to be a PhD student (Religion Studies). I love travelling and can't live without mountains.
I spend my free time watching adult cartoons and series, listening and playing music (guitar, african drums, vargan), dancing, visiting interesting places and parties, meeting with my friends and, of course, travelling anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling and meeting new people. And I want to help travellers know more about Kazan and Russia.
When I'm travelling, I like meeting whith locals, learn more about their culture, discovering different interesting places, where tourists usually don't go.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different music: blues, country, klezmer, gypsy, balcan, jazz, different types of rock and sometimes metal, electropop, rave, rap and hip-hop, etc. I think, than there is no bad musical genres, there a lot of good and bad musicians. But my biggest loves are System of a Down, Johnny Cash, The Doors, The Painted Bird and Iamamiwhoami.
In the past I used to play in a klezmer/gypsy band, a reggae band and in a folk-group.

I really love films of Coen brothers and Tarantino. I also like watching series (my favourite are True Detective (the 1st season), Fargo and Westworld) and adult cartoons (South Park, Ugly Americans, Rick and Morty and others).

In my free time I read books moustly about history, sociology and culturology.
