CURRENT MISSION

enjoy myself/figure what kind of direction makes me happy on a sustainable basis (I'm thinking job that's both intellectually stimulating and useful)

ABOUT ME

I am 24, and I am learning how to live my life. I traveled a lot whenever I had free time and in each new place I tried to take a fresh look at the world. Now that I've started a PhD I guess is the first time I truly settle. It feels quite good to call a new place your home. And there are many things to learn and discover about Cambridge. Each time I traveled I had this strong sense of freedom, and when I met people, of trust and connection. I hope I still manage to, by travel or otherwise, maintain this sense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've only been surfing and had amazing time! I haven't been able to host as I stay in student dorms, but from next year I move into a shared house, should be able to host then

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been couchsurfing in many many places and I just loved it. I've met people I won't forget and really had great experiences

Interests

I study Economics. I expect this subject to explain lots of mysterious things to me, and I think it does a good job so far. I also love to travel around and do so on first occasion. Further, I like riding short distances on my bike

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With my friend Rada we walked the Balkans as if it was our fatherly home! amazing times

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure I can teach a particular skill, except for knife sharpening, I'm pretty good at that. I'm happy to show people what music used to be hot in Russia years and years ago. And I always like to know what people are listening to themselves.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing is quite efficient in couchsurfing, I find. In general spending time together -- let's cook a meal , have some wine, discuss, share thoughts and debate. Let's sit outside, weather permitting. Let's go for a walk, I can do long distances, or we can take breaks and sit here and there.
