I am russian born in Siberia region. Since 4 years i have left my native city to develop myself and get out of comfort zone. That is my favorite thing to do. The long way brought me to France where i am currently doing volunteering mission in the association. I am a person of very different interest in my life and you can find both Charles Aznavour and «System of a Down» at the same time in my playlist. I am always moving . The energy for movements, I absorbe from people, books, music, travelling and organizing different projects. The last few years i am actively involved into the international volunteering movement as volunteer, youth trainer and camp-leader of the workcamps in Russia, Serbia and this year in France. This activities defenitly broaded my horizones and gifted a lot of friends all around the world. Also I am always up to play board games since i was animator of the board game club in Moscow and organizer of the board game festival in our region. I love different games but my favorites are strategic eurogames with few hours gameplay and long hard rules.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a volunteer in other countries i had a chance to live with local people and see everything by theirs eyes and to accept forigners in Russia as well. After this experience, travellling as a tourist, having no contact with real life of the place and its people became very hard and not interessting at all. So for me couchsurfing is the way to see places trough the peoples life and this absolutely reflects my phylosophy.
