Hello! It's always very difficult to describe yourself, but I'll try;)
I'm at 4th year of studying at Saint-Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering and I live in student hostel. There are students from practically all the regions of our country and foreign states. This is very interesting to live side by side with so much different young people, you always learn something new from them. I expect to feel the same from Couchserfing experience:)
Me and my gf have opened our own coffee room in St. Petersburg and have been happily running it for 1 year. It's great experience running your own business, even if it doesn't bring you a lot of money. Because it brings you a lot of experience, which is more valuable.
I'm some kind of philosopher, I love to analise many things and open for experience exchange.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always wanted to see the world, meet a lot of new strangers and make friends from all over the world. It would be great to learn about culture, interests, living experience and to exchange our knowledge.
Unfortunately, I live in a student hostel so I can't host.I will be very glad to meet strangers in Saint Petersburg, communicate with them and show them around.

Interests

Doing different sports (cycling, skiing, swimming, roller-skating), reading books, self-educating, walking.
Experience exchanging. In my opinion every person is interesting person. I'm open to different world views. There are a many things and themes that I'm interested in because of my curiosity. Mathematics, Business, IT, Biology, Phychology, nature, cosmos and so on. It is always interesting to know how it all work. I always try to find similarities and it helps me to try to explain things which I never met before.

Music, Movies, and Books

About music.
I do like listening music, especially in my huge earphones. I don't have exact one or two music genres that I only like, genres are very different, and it always depends on the mood. I like music with sence and soul. Music with low and high frequencies harmonically combined together. As I grow up my preferences are always changing a little. There are some of my favourite artists in different times: Pendulum, The Prodigy, Noisia, Eels, Metallica, Parov Stelar, MGMT, Ludovico Einaudi, Massive Attack, Florence & The Machine, Air, Zero 7, Modual, Chemical Brothers, Chase&Status, Blur

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and my gf have started our business in Saint Petersburg. We opened a coffee room, where we also make healthy food and deserts. In our place we are opened to conversations with our guests in order to make a friendly atmosphere. Our purpose is to do honest business and to make people a little happier.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I told before, I'm interested in many things, so its easy to find a theme to discuss with me. If I meet a person,who doesn't think in the way I think, I never make quick conclusions and don't label him. I'll always listen for different point of views because I believe that if people met - they met to teach each other a lesson. Life is very complicated and I understand that there is can't be only one correct point of view. By the way I often see that most of people do many unnecessary things, just because they was fooled by some other people who make profit from it... And I always try to tell politely if notice it in people around me, and not only it of course. We should all unite from all over the world to teach each other for the better future, and we can do it thanks for CS!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share knowledge about everything I know. Also we can give you a couple of russian language lessons ofcourse.
