I am 23, live in N. Novgorod and work as a software engineer in an IT company.
I'm an open-minded and outgoing person. Exploring new cultures and meet new people is my passion since childhood. It makes a great positive influence on me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to share experience with people, meet new friends, traveling the world and make my life positive!
Feel quite exhausted from spending time in hotels and on excursions from tourist agencies in abroad.
I believe the best way to explorer new culture is to act like a local.
I want to get a great intercultural experience with interesting people from all the world. To add to this, it is wonder to hear different points of view and share ideas and thoughts.
