About Me

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.

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 :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Georgia, Hong Kong, Iran, Japan, Russian Federation, Serbia, South Korea, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Russian Federation, South Korea, United Kingdom
