Hello! My name is Artem, I am from Moscow, Russia. I like travelling very much and I dream about visiting and feel deeply all the beautiful places in the world. I am an absolute fan of couchsurfing, hitchhiking, meeting new people, getting new experience. I am fond of science-popularization, books and photography. Moreover I like walking in the forests and mountains, and I practice piano and guitar playing from time to time.
I'm a calm neighbor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People is a huge force, the only force which could fight the stereotypes, borders and money. The travelling making friends is the best way of travelling.
