Hi there! I am 26yo software developer from Moscow, Russia. I'm always hungry for new information and new impressions(rearly extreme, though). I'm really curious about people, new cultutes, always willing to make new friends and practice some English. Really love beautiful sights and architecture, long conversations with or without some alcohol, bars with live music; can't resist beer and delicious food. My friends say, that I'm smart, have a good sense of humor, reliable and can keep conversation on any topic. Just to add a few things: Addicted to escape-rooms Lego fan(has a little collection of it) Sometimes play intellectual games with a team If you want to know more about me — let’s grab some coffee/beer/wine and talk =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think, the best way to know the country is to hang out with local people. No traveller guide can show you all the beauties of city and tell you details about local life. I also love to hang out with new people, so CS is really perfect for me. It's amazing to meet locals abroad, and to host people from different cultures, or just hang out, if I can't host or be hosted.
