I grew up in a small city and moved to study in a big one. Now I’m an exchange student in the Czech Republic. I’m open-minded and have a great desire to explore the world. From my childhood I traveled with my family to a new country every year. Now I do it with my friends. My hometown is also opened to everyone who wants to see the Urals with real cold Russian winters and hot summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m interested in intercultural communication. I was a buddy in my university and I really enjoy having friends all over the world. Moreover, communicating with the person who lives in the city that you visit helps you to feel the real atmosphere of the city. After such experience you see this city with his/her eyes.
