Born in Russia but lived in Australia. Traveling for the next year or so before settling down semi-permanently in Japan.

Completed my bachelor degree majoring in Philosophy with extra units in literature and Japanese.

Art and anything culture related is probably the most important thing to me. Especially literature; if anyone has some books to recommend me that will always be welcome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have a more intimate experience of the countries and cities that I visit.

To get to know the locals, their way of life and the spots that tourists don't usually get to see.

In short, to be less of a tourist and more of a traveller

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just finished the Trans-Siberian railroad trip; I don't know if that's really amazing though, each to their own.

Teach, Learn, Share

My major is Philosophy so if you're into that we can have some discussions about the nature of reality or free will or something

What I Can Share with Hosts

Help them practise languages if they are interested in learning; mainly Russian/English, but really anything, just ask me if you need something/some help
