Overview
About Me
Still looking for my dream job to do and dream place to be. I hate routine, it makes me get mad.
I like hiking, baking, telling stories and listening to others.
I believe that nothing helps you to understand this world better than the ability to listen to people living in it. Everybody has stories to share and that's amazing.
When it comes to travel, I mostly do it alone, so it helps me to meet new people, start new conversations and brings me to the right places).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing for me is not about free accommodation, it's all about people and cultures.
I'm quite involved since I believe it's a great idea to prove that people worldwide have a way more things in common than they tend to think most of the time.
Also, for me it's the best way to experience life in a different country, learn more about people, habits, and history.

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to music most of the time - when I work, when I travel , when I take shower. I have hundreds of bands in my playlist, it's random and too much to list here.
I'm neither movie- nor series-person, I watch appr. 5 films yearly and 1/2 season of some series, so that is definitely not the topic which I can handle for the small talk.
I read a lot - I spend 2 hours daily in public transport, so that's my time ;)
I like stories based on real life events, with realistic characters. I read a lot of classics, and I like books on management, HR and other topics connected with my work.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Crossing 3000 kilometers by hitch-hiking.
Watching falling stars in August sky.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach Russian, somehow English or French (you take it on your own risk :).
Some ecological and biological things, engineering, some maths and chemistry.
Stuff about marketing and project management.
Some cooking, mostly bakery and vegetarian food
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have plenty of crazy stories and some sort of skill to make them funny to listen.
