About Me

Right now I try to travel whenever I have a chance to.
Adventures is the thing keeps me going, I love exploring things: sea, sun and beach are essential from time to time, though I cannot seal and get sun tanned for longer than 5 days, I grab the backpack and continue looking for fun and memories, nice landscapes to take pictures of and people to maintain communication through years with.
I believe that fear prevents us from living, but it doesn’t necessarily mean we cannot overcome it. I love to challenge myself everyday, to check the limits and find peace with the world and myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got to know so many people outside Russia and each time I am stunned by how different and similar we are at the same time.
Couchsurfung helps exchange things: I can teach you to play russian card games and we would talk nights about everything; exploring different lives with same way of thinking that what makes it precious.
I wonder why so many alike people being «on the same emotional wave» are so far away. But just the fact that we can travel and meet these people, have them in our life — matters. That is why I couchsurf.

Music, Movies, and Books
