I'm a simple but curious and active guy.
At the moment master's student at Potsdam University. I'm studying remote sensing, image processing, data analysis.
I was born in the Republic of Bashkortostan, South Ural, Russia. I'm Bashkir.
Studied geodesy in Moscow. Lived for a year in Austria (EVS), lived and taught English in Vietnam.
I'm a former football referee and Lieutenant of the reserve of Russian Armed Force.
Also, I was a member of the election commission in Moscow and (tried at least) to make elections in Russia fairer.
I think I have a great sense of humor. I speak English fluently. My German is about B1 but I'm learning.
Don't forget to read the "My Home" section if you want to stay at my place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met so many nice people via Couchsurfing but I hope to meet even more. I like to keep the connection with the people I met via cs.
If you staying with me I will do my best to help you to have amazing and unique memories, to learn new things.
If I'm the guest, I prefer to go with you to a local shop and buy groceries or just help you with something, rather than taking selfies next to some landmark.

I love Moscow and, as people say, I have a deep knowledge of the history and culture of this great city. I would be glad to share.
I'm in love with Austria, Italy, and Vietnam and I'm really curious about Canada, China, India, Japan, Germany, Switzerland and about small ethnic groups and their culture.
