Hello, world!
My name is Oleg. I live in Russia. I wear the fufaika, valenoks and the shapka-ushanka with the red star. I drink vodka right from the samovar, and my riding bear plays the balalaika.
(Ballet dancer in Mariinsky theatre, Saint Petersburg).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in making acquaintance with new interesting people and visiting remarkable places. Also I'm concerned in getting new experience of regional customs and traditions. Mostly I work and travel with the theatre, but in vacation I travel alone.
