I am an open minded, friendly person from the best russian city Saint-Petersburg. I am hungry for adventure, for knowing different cultures, meeting new people. I think that emotions and impressions give us a will to keep moving, it makes us alive. For me the best way to earn fresh impressions is communication. It is always a pleasure to meet people from different sides of the world, from countries I've never been before, to know about their living, language, way of thinking, traditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I am so much into music and reading!

I have more than 9300 artist in my library on last.fm and I am always looking for fresh ones. My fav genres are black/ pagan metal, folk/ neofolk, martial industrial.

I mostly read novels, philosophy and psychology literature, military texts. My fav writers are german: Hermann Hesse, Günter Grass, Heinrich Böll.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've started to play drums! I've been doing a lot of things in my life, e.g. dancing for 10 years, playing volleyball, swimming, painting, but never was involved with music. Music is very important for me and I finally made a step to be closer to it myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share the knowledge about my culture, help to dispel some stereotypes (or maybe to prove some of them :D ), to learn russian words (and it is always fun to discuss languages, really), I can also recommend books or music you may like.
