I graduated in 2010 with the specialty of Civil Engineering. Since then I've been working in the Construction industry. I worked in several places - I've done building defect inspection, I was a project engineer and now I work as a project manager which is the job of my dream so far.

Along with working in construction I'm doing postgraduate studies in the area of Project Management in South Ural State University and planning to get an academic degree in 2017.

I'm a vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe it's no use to travel to see places because a place itself has no meaning without the people who live there. Of course it's great to see beautiful buildings or landscapes of other countries but you don’t hear the stories that happens there if think you're missing the part.

I'm on CS because I want to meet people from around the world, listen to their stories and maybe share mine. And hopefully get a little glance on how people live on that little planet.

Apart from my work which I'm really into I like snowboarding, camping, doing yoga sometimes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done a backpacker trip through Thailand last year

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to have a chance to learn something and share my thoughts in the area of my professional interests - project management in construction. I'm hugely interested in how people around the world manage construction - one of the most complicated in terms of management and also arguably the oldest human activity.

Anyway, we can talk about the places we lived and travelled and share personal thoughts on our own countries - it's always useful to get another perspective on something you only heard about from news and the Internet from a closest source.
