Hi, I'm a photographer living in Saint-Petersburg, working mostly on ballroom dancing competitions in this big city. I always do some pottery and I like producing natural soap. I love traveling and fortunately I have an excellent experience in living in different foreign families from school times to present, such trips were always much more interesting and giving new contacts that I always appreciate.

I've been living in Toulouse, France for almost 4 years doing my PhD work that I have not finished. But staying there gave me a perfect opportunity to learn the language and to understand better that are the french people and what is this country. Finally I made a ton of photos in Toulouse and other cities that we have visited for ballroom dance competitions with my wife some of witch you can see in my profile. I have made a photo book of Toulouse city and I'd like to share it with others.

I have a second family in Catadau (region of Valencia, Spain) that also made me fluent in Spanish. I love this country for every little thing excluding maybe its extremely hot weather in summer. I dream of visiting its places.

I don't smoke anything, don't drink alcohol and I'm a lactovegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Obviously, I can visit much more places during one trip staying at someone's home than in a hotel. I like knowing new people, that's nice to have someone you know all over the world :)
