I'm a man with very spacious mind. I like to play chess. Last ten years I became an expert in math, physics, IT, but now I prefer literature, white dry wine and chess;). I cook very well and will be glad to share a dinner with you. Maybe some traditional or marinated steaks, or fried fish, or anything else what you prefer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One day I was going to travel around Europe and one my old friend said to me "Hey! Where are you going to live? In hostels or hotels? It's boring. Just try to use couchsurfing!" So I am here.
I am here because it is the best place to exploring new cultures, to see life in other countries from the inside.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Sun behind the Arctic Circle.
Sunrise in the Alpian mountains.

Swimming in icy Onega lake.

Skydiving near Ladoga lake.

Walking around Big Kanyon and Ai-Petri in Crimea. Walking around Sevastopol. This is very cool place!
