About Me

I was successfully born and raised in the middle of Russia.
Then moved to Saint-Petersburg for not the most useful masters degree.
After a series of not obvious choices found myself as an engineer at a huge plant in the middle of nowhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because traveling is not about countries which you visited, it's about people you met. It's about different cultures, history, languages. What could be more interesting than this?

I met couchsurfers in Italy, Poland, Germany, Greece and Latvia.
And this experience is unforgettable.

Interests

Music gigs are all over the world .
All musical events from local pub concerts to open air festivals.
This is what makes me feel alive.

Due to lack of self confidence I started running.
Confidence has not appeared but love for running is stayed.
Since that every trip is a chance to grab a pair of sneakers and go to explore new areas.
