Originally I hail from Belarus but after having graduated with a degree in surveyor I applied and landed a job in Sochi in a Russin construction company based in Saint-Petersburg. For a year I had been living and working in St. Petersburg. Summer 2016 I came back to Sochi and now I live and work in Krasnaya Polyana.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It must be the best place to explore the world through speaking, sharing one place, exchange culture, do a wide range of activities with people from different places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't say that I am a musical type of person, but I love to listen to music when I have a mood for it. In travels, I listen to one type of song, in a camp or when I do backpacking another. During jogging, I just turn on some of my apps which generate a list of song randomly. In general, I like such groups as Queen, Muse, Bob Dylan, some Russian and Belarus bands as well.

I love films. I love going to the cinema and enjoy this time. I watched many films ranging from very old to a new one. I sincerely love to watch such serials as Friends, himym, the big bang. Some European films and I love Tarantino films.

I used to read Russian classical authors, but now I prefer reading books in English which I can understand to improve my language.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have run a few really tough trail distance and hope to run UTMB.
