Samurai drifter, portrait/travel photographer, international citizen. Calling me 'social' would be an under-statement, 'smart' a quite optimistic one, and 'alcoholic' a tad bit too pessimistic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I mean, when you travel, do you really, actually give the tiniest bit of a fuck about ticking off items on a "Old Buildings to See" list prepared by some other people on the Internet?

No?

Yeah, me neither - welcome to (the idealised version in my head of) Couchsurfing. I'm traveling for the people, for the experience, for living life - show me how you live yours, where you go, what you do to feel alive! If you were looking for someone to tag along for a bit, then take a mental note - you've found just the right Russian maniac with plenty of energy to spare for both you and your area!

Photography - a massive hobby of mine - is in perfect symbiosis with this, as it lets my hidden, mistreated and abused 'artist' side of me poke its head out of the basement that 'engineering study' put there. It lets me document the people and the places I explore, so that the photos can bring back sweet memories of the shared experiences to you and I after they were lived through (and Instagram likes, of course).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We can share those over some beers/coffees!

Teach, Learn, Share

Stories - you tell yours, I tell mine!

If that's not enough for you, I can teach you the basics of fighting, meditation, photography, rocket engineering, god knows what else, jesus do I spread myself too thin sometimes

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to take a portrait of you- an addition to my portfolio/memory for me, a Tinder profile pic for you!

I'm also an amazing drinking buddy/listener, whoever you are, at whatever point in your life, sit down with me and some beers, wine, tea, coffee, shisha... anything really, and you'll have a good time!

Food-wise, unless you're the type of person who would enjoy chicken and veggies (my staple meal for like a full year now, please help), then I'd rather steer away from me cooking.

If you have pets, then I will cuddle the shit out of them and give them massive amounts of love. Dogs are my first true passion in life, and I plan on having a massive dog family once I'm all big and grown up post-uni functioning member of the society, but there's a soft cuddly spot in my heart for everything cute. If you keep fish though, the offer for cuddles may be rescinded (I mean, unless you really insist, I'm pretty good at diving).
