I'm 26 yo programmer, living in the city called Ufa, which is located right between Europe and Asia on the Ural mountains. I never been abroad, even though due to nature of my work for past few years i've in been in the business trips all over the Russia, all the way from Saint-Petersburg to Siberia and Baikal, from millionth cities to littlest villages. Currently i'm planning my first abroad trip to Norway and Sweden in September.

As a person, I am an open-minded and social person. I'd like to meet new people of different cultures and have a good conversation. What i like most about the people is individuality and unusualness.

My interests are programming, photography, cycling, everything about new tech and IT, modern and retro videogames, good music and movies, anime, CATS. I love everything about Japan and South Korea and planning to visit these countries someday.

As a new CS member and since i don't have any references yet, i know that you have full right to be suspicious about me, and i understand that. But, if i'm asking or doing something wrong, please correct me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people, meet the locals, make friends all over the world.
