Overview
About Me
My name is Dinar, I'm 21 years old. I live and study in St. Petersburg at the Economics Faculty of St. Petersburg State University. I was born in the city of Kazan (the sixth city of Russia), which is located in the Republic of Tatarstan. I'm Tatar and thus I grew up surrounded by both Russian and Tatar culture.
I like to discover something new and study how people live in other places. Most of all I'm impressed by nature and cities. I love the blue sea, green forests, bright sun and white snow. In cities I aspire to see what others do not see. I turn around the corners and go along unpopular streets.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Firstly, I want to communicate with people and to see new places with the locals. Secondly, I'm student and that's why I don't have so much money for hotels :)
Interests
In the autumn of 2017, I created my blog (http://dinarkino.ru/), where I write about what I do. The blog is completely in Russian, however I will try to write here about my key activities of recent times.
1) I'm an exchange student at Keio University (Tokyo, Japan) till February of 2018. During this time, I'm discovering Japan and its unique cultural features.
2) I'm shooting a movie about Tokyo. I have no experience in shooting, but I'm very interested. I use only an iPhone with a stabilizer. I study everything from the beginning.
3) In the future, I would like to be engaged in programming, and so now I'm taking an online programming courses to enter the masters next year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I jumped hundreds of times from the roofs of buildings to snowdrifts, lay in the snow, somersaulted and even ate it! :)
