Hi,

Let me tell you about myself a bit. I grew up in Samara, large city located on the bank of Volga river. Did you hear about 'Lada' cars? Well, those are manufactured just around the corner.
I studied maths in the university and eventually started working as a software developer.
I love sports, especially snowboarding and my new favorite - kitesurfing. I also play football (or soccer if you like this weird word more) and ice hockey (true one, not bandy).
Music is all around me :-) I like different rock and blues styles, but open to other kinds of noize-making. And, well, ugh... I play guitar. A bit. Not that much, you know...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
