I'm from Russia. I live in the mountains, near the highest point in Europe, m Elbrus. I have been working as a guide on Elbrus for 10 years.
After the climbing season, from November I travel alone hitchhiking and with a tent around the world.

I am trying to learn English and Spanish.

I will be happy to see at my home!

I have a dog Alaskan Malamute, which made 43 ascents to Elbrus and is very popular with tourists.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel a lot, but there is no way to pay for the hotel. Therefore, I always live in a tent or with friends in other countries.

I would like to learn English and Spanish well. I like meeting new people.

I am interested in photography. I especially like photographing portraits of people and animals in the wild.
