CURRENT MISSION

to have some challenge in my life

ABOUT ME

I'm a journalist. I work at the russian TV-company Russia-24. Before I wrote articles in russian newspaper "Izvestia". And my first workplace is police. I served there for six years. I like to travel, mostly in Europe, but once I was in Africa, Uganda. I like adventures and I always interested in studying something new.

I'm easily carried away. But I always read a lot. It's constant. One of a few. Because I love to change. Changes, it's perfect. It's constant too. My two last hobbies are photo and learning of French. I try to get better in both ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've meet really great people in Belgrade, Romania, Belgium, Netherlands, France and, of course, Uganda! Every case is very special, and it's wrong to say common things about all of them, or say something about only one. I like all people I have met by CS. That's all.

Interests

I like my work. I'm a workaholic, 100%. It always was. So, on the one hand it's lucky for me, but on the other hand I do not have a lot of free time. When I have it, i prefer to play football (more and more rarely, unfortunately) or go to club to listen ska or punk-band. And as I said I like to read (that's number one) and try to write books. If I have more than three free days I always try to spend them on journey. Anywhere.
