A road is drawn by the feet of the walker.

I've traveled around Europe, volunteered in Iceland; studied in Germany and Czech Republic; went to do snowboarding in Montenegro once, and found myself in Istanbul a couple of days later (there was no snow in the mountains that year).

I have seen world from both sides now. I lived in Russia and studied in the US on a Fulbright scholarship.

Currently I do advanced analytics for an agricultural company in Moscow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking forward to meeting new people, sharing our time in Moscow, our travelling experiences and our cultures.

Interests

Lots of them, see above :) I am always trying to learn something new, and find new friends through interest groups.

I recently started learning how to make pottery, and started my pottery collection. Dream to make all of the houseware by myself :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Jim Jarmush, Gaspar Noel, Wes Anderson. Love calm blues music, and sing-along-in-the-car pop hits :)

Prefer Leo Tolsoy to Fedor Dostoevski. All Russians are fans of classical literature, haha ^_^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First time on my solo trip to Iceland meet couple of people in a coffee shop and went on a car trip with them around the isle.

Travelled around the US was moved by the hospitality of the fellow couchsurfers I met.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a local in Moscow. I will be happy to show you around town, talk a bit about the history, and share a local's perspective on the city.

I can teach you how to navigate around the city with practically to street signs in English, and show some hidden places in Moscow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll be happy to cook Russian food, tell more about my own culture, and bring some postcards.
