Social Anthropology PhD student and documentary photographer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Opportunity to host or to become someone's guest to me as great part of any travel. For me there is nothing more interesting than getting to know people.

Making an attempt at coming back to CS after being off the platform for 5 years.

Interests

Well, for past 3 years I have been writing about the politics and ecology of the Russian space industry in Kazakhstan, where Russia's main Launch Site Baikonur is located. Apart from that I have been working on various research projects exploring Russia's metropolitan museum collections and their objects' histories of provenance, produced a project on Byzanthine chanting traditions of monastic communities on Mt Athos. Most of my interests are pretty niche but they are all guided by my passion for research and storytelling.
