Hi guys

My name is Ilia, I'm from Russia, Ekaterinburg. It's a big russian city which is situated on the border of Europe and Asia. Recently I decided to stop my regular life in Russia and to go traveling.

I'm fond of traveling, and have visited about 20 countries for a moment. I'm looking to make a round-the-world trip. Now I'm traveling around all India with my friend.

I like to meet people, learn different cultures, architecture, ancient towns...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's what I need. Meeting "real people" - locals - in each country that is what I like in traveling. It's the best way to learn new place, people and culture.
