Hello, my name is Daniel, i’m from the city Perm right in the middle of Europe and Asia and which stays in vast Ural mountains, yea it’s not only sounds good but it’s truly amazing place with breath-taking scenery around. I was born here and have been living for 30 years constantly in search of adventures near with my friends. Something about me? I’m a versatile, curious and easy-going person so I like to make new friends all over the world to share experience and learning to see the world from different angles. I positive person, with a sense of humor.. probably) and love to spend time with a good story or do some outdoor sport activity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So a year ago I decided to try a live on the coast to catch some sun rays and waves and I have chosen Melbourne. Also it's a great opportunity to improve my english and academic knowledge. Now I'm studying at RMIT University and looking around for new adventures and friends.

Interests

I’m fond of all kind of sport activities like snowboarding, wakeboarding, longboarding, soccer, bike and etc. Also I’m keen on watching movies which can keep me on the edge of my chair and art house ones too, listen to music especially rock & electronic from 60’s to today, recently have addicted to the serials. Some of my professional passion are food and design, so i really love to cook and all stuff that link to the art. And of course I like parties))
