I grew up in Tatarstan, Russia, a remarkable example of tolerance between two ethnically diverse groups.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Visiting tourist attractions are not as important to me as the interactions with the local hosts. I love to ask questions, learn the histories of different nations and get the insight to life and ideas of general population. Getting familiar with local's daily chores and routines is far more rewarding for me than visiting an Eiffel Tower. I believe CS is the best way to make friends globally too.

Interests

I used to play a button accordion as a kid really well, and now wanna come back to that. Few years ago I became an Adrenaline junkie too! Skydiving being most favorite. Next thing on my plate is to become a recreational pilot.
I've been obsessed about traveling Europe by train. Just never had an opportunity to do so yet.
