Hey there! Currently I live in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

I haven’t traveled much, especially before my 19-20. So I can’t describe myself as an experience traveler. But I do love it and try to travel as much as I can.

Previously studied Philology and Linguistics, I extremely love literature and languages. Today I learn Persian and Armenian languages, some years ago learned German and Latin.

I combine studies and work, so I have a hard, busy life :) I work for the Red Bull company in marketing sphere. I love my job! It gives me a lot of opportunities and fun. Also I like driving my Mini Cooper.

I’m a vegetarian also for 5 years already. So I care about my health and environment (at least I try). I prefer minimalistic and zero waste lifestyle. Believe me, recycling and other stuff is pretty difficult in Russia. But we are working on it!

I’m a hipster (ha-ha) I love film photography, vintage clothes and riding my scooter.

I used to play video games a lot! Participated in Mortal Combat championships, but generally I prefer single player video games such as Skyrim, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption or The Last of Us. Can talk about it a lot!

I do not use Couchsurfing as Tinder. I’m not looking for a relationship or whatever. Communication, having good time together and sharing cultural experiences are welcomed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m an open-minded person who loves gaining new experiences. If you offer me to make a tattoo with you, I will do it! Skydiving? Hitchhiking? Parting the whole day and night somewhere in the club? The list is endless. I’m okay with everything and ready for everything!
Traveling and getting close to different cultures definitely broad our minds and bla-bla...)

Music, Movies, and Books

Alternative bands such as the Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Snow Patrol, Placebo. I love old pop songs and techno and electronic music, especially at the parties. I do love parties!
Actually I can say that I’m a melomaniac. The only thing I don’t like is Russian rap. Brrr!
Talking about literature, I like Russian literature and English one; I used to read a lot. Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Tolstoy...I love classics!

Watch different kinds of movies, there are some favorites, such as Interstate 60, I wish I were here etc. Generally I prefer old movies. Also I don’t usually watch serials, because they consume too much time. I have an account in Russian IMDb “Kinopoisk”, I do love writing reviews, ratings etc.
