About Me

Originally I am from the Southern part of Yakutia. Was living for 9 years in one of the most beautiful cities on the Earth, in Saint Petersburg ;) Now I'm back to my homeland, and due to my work from time to time I travel to the Northern regions and countries.

I belong to Indigenous People called Evenki. We are very few on the planet, so you should preserve us! :DD

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the CS's idea is just GREAT!

First time I experienced surfing (the one and only so far) in Bremen (Germany) in 2013. And moreover, used to take part in Weekly Meetings of CS members in Saint Petersburg. I wish we had such meetings in Yakutsk...
