I am a recent graduate from the University of Portsmouth. Have previously worked in a number of hotels and travelled to around 20 countries. Originally from Moscow, Russia but I don't tend to associate myself with just one city, state or country. Always curious of meeting new people, taking on new challenges and exploring new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living in Shenzhen, China and constantly looking to make new friends. Couchsurfing seems like a lovely place for that, so I decided to give in a try.

Interests

Since I am a hospitality management graduate I am very keen on everything that is related to customer service, making people feel welcome and so on. On top of that, I just cannot live a day without going somewhere or just simply having a walk around the area I live in. Change of scenery and exploring is something that keeps me motivated throughout my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music, I just pick whatever fits my mood. It can vary from classic rock and death metal to deep house and techno. I am a big fan of hip hop too. I like watching comedies or documentaries but I have to admit that binge watching three seasons of a new TV show is something I do from time to time. I cannot say that I have a favourite book. For instance, I will read some educational books at home but when I am on the go I quite like to read some sort of a detective.
