I'm a civil engineering student but I actually dream of becoming an architect. I participate in political opposition movement (and this can be pretty dangerous here in Russia, you know), help LGBT groups and volunteer for an organization called School Projects (we make different activities for schoolchildren: moot courts, debates, competitions on human rights etc).
Apart from all that stuff I love drawing and writing, meeting new people and listening to their stories, exploring new places.
I think that my best quality is the sense of humor and that's what I value in other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find staying at hotels really boring. In my opinion, couchsurfing is one of the best things the mankind created, haha. It's so cool to make new friends everywhere you go and explore a new city from the inside!
