I live in Auckland now.
Before requesting read the house description, please.

#lookingforadventures is my motto in life. Be kind, think positively and get your good mood from simple things, then your life will be full of sunlight even on a stormy day.

I love travelling, driving, singing, Exploring new lands and meeting new people. Love trying and learning everything new and interesting, walking, nature, mountains, architecture, food and so on.

I am fond of collecting coins, photography and writing stories about my adventures. I used to travel by my car a lot: live and cook there. But now I don't have a car and travel by any other means of transportation.

P.s. I neither drink alcohol nor smoke, but can be crazy enough without it, lol. I occasionally can go to rock-bars with live bands and I am always up for anything great, new and interesting ) Mostly I prefer to go to bed early.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To know the local culture you must stay with locals, share their routines and explore around with their advice. I am happy to host and get hosted. Best experience and best people are here.

Couchsurfing is about sharing cultures and lives, not only saving money, please remember when requesting.

Music, Movies, and Books

🔆Music lover.
🔆I never watch movies alone.
🔆I read a book from every country I visit. It is an amazing way to get to know the culture and mentality. I read every free minute
🔆Books, songs, movies can be from all over the world. If they make me feel good, why not?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one? My life is full of amazing things:
🔆Parachute jumping from the military helicopter after only 5min instruction;
🔆Driving across the Gobi desert in Mongolia with my mum only;
🔆Crossing Russia and Crimea driving my car;
🔆Bathing in an ice-hole in Murmansk (Arctic 🥶) and watching the northern lights with -38°C;
☀️ Swimming with sharks, dolphins and turtles in the ocean
☀️ Breaking Guinness and Russia records in dancing
🔆 Paragliding in Pamukkale;
🔆 Riding a hot air balloon in Cappadocia;
🔆Living in China for six years;
🔆Leaving for 2weeks' holidays and not coming back for three years
And I'm sure that anything you do can be amazing, it just depends on your attitude.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, stories and good mood.

It is traditional in Russian culture to bring something, at least a chocolate when you come to visit. So I usually follow this tradition and almost never come to someone's house empty-handed.
