CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet another people and visit different countries, like anyone on CS, isn`t it? As experienced traveller, I understand, that only with a local person help you can see a real life.
So as a guest, I want to discover with hosts something, that I can not make by myself, visit true local restaurants, bars, clubs, go hiking or any another cool activity, and have fun together.

ABOUT ME
I live with my girlfriend(this is her profile - https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/margarita-panicheva-1) in the small flat near the metro Park Pobedy.
Travelling is our disease, and the main goal of our life.
UPD: At 21 September 2022 I become a refugee or digital nomad, cause I escaped from mobilization in Russia. Now my base city is Tbilisi, and maybe some time later I can host from it.

PHILOSOPHY
I hate people, who write that he is "open-minded person" and something like that, and ask every couchsurfer "Why you want to meet me?". And all need to lie about that, and say to him, how insanely they want to meet.
I live in the most attractive for surfers city in Russia and I ve got couch - someone need it, and I do not ask them why they need to meet me. If they want and I have availability, and I see adequate profile - no problem, come and be my guest. I host about 18 people from CS and everyone of them is great and interesting person, and I think most of all travellers on CS are the same, so because of that I can accept any adequate CS request without explaining me why couchsurfer wants to meet me.
Now I need to add something about my political opinion, cause many people thinks, that all russians love Putin lol. Because of him I lost 2 jobs, lost crazy amount of money, lost my wife (she cant now move from Russia), and need to be a refugee and many many another problems, which is nothing compared what is happening with people in Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!

ANOTHER IMPORTANT THINGS
Copypaste requests are OK, if you have more than 0 references.
We do not smoke, but we can host smoking people.

Interests

swimming, fishing, diving, hiking, bicycle (especially Brompton), IT, programming, water polo, board games, old school 8bit stuff, vodka and bears also=))
I dont add couchsurfing to this, cause its not an interest - its a way of living, you know)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Tarantino, Nolan, Hichkock, Lynch, Kubrick, Coppola films.
Books - Artur Conan-Doyle, Agata Kristi, Rex Stout, Jeorge Simenon.
music - mostly techno, sometimes deep and acid house - I will mension only famous artists, so you can understand my choice of music) -Ken Ishii, IHM, Endlec, Shlomo, Call Super, Objekt, Randomer, Miss Kittin, The Hacker, Sven Vath, Rebekah, Abdulla Rashim, Byetone, Robert Lippok and so so many other not famous but really good djs.
Btw, if you find me on CS by putting "techno" in search, you are very smart person:-), because I can show you the best techno and close to it places in St. Petersburg.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

diving with a sharks in Phillipines

Teach, Learn, Share

I can take you to the real russian fishing with my friends in the sea on the boat.
I can be your guide in wonderful St. Petersburg, but only in evenings and saturdays/sundays.
I can show not expensive places to buy souvenirs, food, to eat traditional russian meals.
Also me and Margarita are fans of gastrobars with modern cuisine (russian or mixed), so we know best places in St. Petersburg to enjoy it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting stories about travelling, fishing, programming, about my experience in CS, etc.
My girlfriend is an artist, she makes for all hosts a cool handmade gift.
