ABOUT ME

My Instagram: Ilya_wek

I'm originally from Vladivostok but grew up in Artem (the city is close to Vladivostok). I graduated from university in Vladivostok, and then I was conscripted into the army for one year. I'm working as a financial manager in a company, which sells children's goods.

I think of myself as very open-minded and always willing to try new things.
Also, I like travelling, running, snowboarding, reading books, paintings and meeting new people!

SNOWBOARDING
I like snowboarding because it is freedom and creativity. You can do anything you want to on a snowboard if you think about it, break it down into steps, and practice the motions. Also, snowboarding takes my mind off of everything else and lets me have fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Better regret something you have done, than something you didn't!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think Couchsurfing is an excellent tool to travel, meet new people and get to know new places.

I love meeting people from other cultures and countries and to learn from them!
