CURRENT MISSION

As I'm staying in the US for this year, my primary mission is to travel as much around the country and see as many places in the US as possible. Being a poor student, I need to make it as cheap as possible so that to travel more!

ABOUT ME

I was born in a small town Shahtersk in the North of Sakhalin island. At a young age my parents and I moved to the Southern part of it in the city named Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, which I consider my hometown and where I live till present days.
However I study in a different city, named Khabarovsk, which is on the mainland just accros the river from China. I study in Khabarovsk State Acaemy of Economics and Law.
This year I'm studying in the University of Mississippi, the US, as a fellow of the exchange program Global UGRAD.

PHILOSOPHY

Love people dispite their bad human natureLearn from everyone as everyone has something to teach youRecognize the reality as it is, but hope for the better and make a difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I cannot host people as I'm out of town for this year,

host people in my apartment and show them around the city.
This year am going to surfe for places to stay while travelling around the US.
