I live in Moscow, Russia and have a very interesting and rare job -- I am an ocean scientist.
Travelling is one of my best hobbies and, fortunately, is a significant part of my everyday work.
I know well Moscow, the city, where I live for all my life, and I will be glad to show it to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In different parts of our planet CS gives me chance to see the local life inside and meet lots of nice and interesting people.
