In a few words I'm a photography enthusiast from small city near Moscow, who want to visit other countries to make beautiful (I hope) photos and improve understanding of other cultures and traditions.
Interested in Photography
Interested in Space & Astronomy
Fluent in English
Learning Korean
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is a good way to meet interesting people and make new friends.
Music, Movies, and Books
To be honest, I don't have exact preferences. What I'm watching, what I'm listening to, and what I'm reading is fully dependant on my mood.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
One day in 2007 I decided to go to Chernobyl alienation zone... and actually have been there 8 times up to current time.
Teach, Learn, Share
Can share my experience and culture (which is not actually limited to 'vodka', 'matryoshka' and 'balalayka') :D. Can provide practice in russian language. Would like to learn Korean! :).
What I Can Share With Hosts
Everything I have. Unfortunately I can't share my flat at the moment, it is possible only in case of urgent need and you should be ready for a bit spartan conditions :)
