I graduated university in Moscow, where I was learning cultural studies. Since then I'm still in a process of searching and discovering what I'm willing to do. Now I'm editing some video projects, sometimes shoot videos myself, but also I do guiding hiking tours in mountains. This last gives me most pleasure and I hope i will develop this project to share with people this unique experience you can get in camping trips in the mountains.

Every day changes me a bit and I do my best to fix the transformations. It's not always easy to notice them. But all people around help me to discover myself. I meet them, listen to their stories trying to understand their lives and in the same time realize mine and what I am. Sure, it also works in an opposite way. That total exchange makes me excited.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Summer 15 while hitchiking in Europe I had very significant experience for me. Partly because of those people I met through CS. That's why I keep on use this service to meet new people and stories.

Interests

I've hiked a lot and understood it is my passion. That's great pleasure for me just to go somewhere on a mountain trail. To be far from the city and people, to watch the nature and to see. Such trips for me are like a little life. They brings to me great amount of feelings, thoughts, answers and questions.

I love to listen and I have what to tell. Some talks can change our lives a lot and I've experienced it myself. So, I'm keen on exchanging ideas, because it helps sometimes to find the right direction where to go further.

That's how i think words can work, and i do love words and a language and text because of a power and beauty they can provide. I do love some visual practices, making images and video evidences of a past. I think a lot about time and memory, trying to fix the moment and to save the experience.
