I'm Russian, but from 2012 I live in Norway. Right after graduating from university I moved here for work. During the past years I've visited a lot of beautiful places around the country, but Norway doesn't stop to amaze me every time and I know that there is still much more to explore. You're welcome to come here and to do it alone or together with me. I live in a very good strategic place for exploring Norwegian fjords and mountains - town called Stavanger. It's on the South-West coast and also known as "oil and gas capital of Norway".

Travel is not the only thing I like to do of course. Except travel, from early childhood I used to do a lot of sport, actually almost every kind of sport. Was involved professionally into judo, tennis, table tennis, football. Love winter and summer tourism, catamaraning, kayaking, mountains hiking, ski tourism.. and of course important element of all of that - singing by guitar near fireplace.

I grown up in the north of country, but when moved to Saint-Petersburg I've got new hobby called "roofing". It's a kind of parcour on the roofs of the city. I was staying at the rootes of "roofing" culture in Russia. From that time finding of tricky ways of getting up to the roofs of the cities is my favorite thing to do while travel. I love it coz it includes sport, risk, adventure and romantism since the views from there are stunnig.

One more hobby I passionate about is a street-art. I've got a huge interest in it when I moved to Norway. And now for me exploration of street-art works is going together with exploration of a new city itself.

That's briefly about myself. For description like "she is positive, funny, crazy etc." or even opposite - ask people who know me, they will tell;))
