Hi! I'm Artemii (curious fact: my name comes from the Greek goddess Artemis). I live in Tyumen, the city in the Western Siberia, Russia. We have winter from October to April, with middle temperature -30 degrees, so obviously I can't be surprised by any other life difficulties :)

I work as engineer in the big bridge construction company. In the same time I make my PhD work. I like to make new aims for myself and achieve them. Like with IELTS Academic Exam, which I passed on Band 6.5 in this July. I love football, try to watch all important games of Russian and English Premier Leagues, and Seria A. On every Sunday I play football with my friends.

I love travelling. In my list already 12 countries and 67 cities. I enjoy to plan new trips, to find unusual routes and places, and make conversations with local people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To visit everyone European country before my 30th birthday :)
