I am a student of the Higher School of Economics (university in Moscow). I studied there for 3 years and in the 4th year (last) I decided to get more experience studying as an exchange student at School of Business and Economics at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. Living in the centre of Europe I am trying to travel a lot, to discover the cultures of other countries.

I had experience (over 1.5 years) in a large Russian telecommunications company (PJSC MTS) in the IT strategy department. I am also interested in consulting. I won top places in various consulting championships which were organized for students (e.g., BCG Idea Challenge).

In my free time, I go to concerts/cinema, read books or support my favorite football team at the stadium :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I would like to live like a local in different cities of the world.
I want to "touch" new cultures. This, unfortunately, cannot be done if you are surrounded by tourists in a hotel.
