About Me

CURRENT MISSION
See as much of the world as I can. Test my own limits!

ABOUT ME
Solo backpacker ! I'm originally from Russia, but have been living in Germany for over 10 years now. One of those who used to read and study a lot, bit never did much traveling, so I'm trying to catch up now:) I love discovering forgotten abandoned places, historical sites, even weird and creepy locations. I'm crazily in love with mountains, long staircases, ancient ruins and castles. I can walk 20 miles up the hill to see that particular abandoned Greek village and return home with sore bleeding feet and still I would always prefer that over most beautiful beaches with the most clear water. Some people say I'm crazy for doing that, but yeah... just doing whatever makes me happy. And beaches just do not do the trick for me :D

PHILOSOPHY

Do not be a tourist! Explore for yourself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It can be quite stressful to travel together with me, so I prefer to travel solo. For me this is also the perfect way to get in contact with locals, learn something about their daily life. But also this is a chance for me to be spontaneous and adventurous.
