Hi, everyone! I'm from Moscow, Russia. I love travelling and exploring different cultures. I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world and sharing my experience with them. My motto is "every person you meet in life can be your teacher", that is why for me, the most essential thing in communicating is to treat everyone with respect and be helpful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with locals in other countries or helping them to explore your hometown is the best way to get to know local culture, that's why I think couchsurfing fits the bill perfectly.

Interests

I love talking about art (cinema, literature and music in particular), some people consider me to be a movie database.

I also love to explore new places on foot, I can walk all day long anywhere.

I'm always very excited to go to new countries/towns/places, meeting local people and discovering local culture.

Lots and lots, but I can list some of my favourite genres:
