I was born and grew up in Russia, but found my home in Finland. It's really wonderful place for living! Now I live in the forest with my family in a house I've built with my own hands. I like to spend time at home with family, sauna, walking in forest, talking with friends. But I also like to discover this world. I'm not a tourist, I'm the traveler. My travels are usually roadtrips, where I like to meet real people and get experience from real life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I travel to somewhere, I travel to meet people. And CS is a great way to find them. I like to host travelers who are not looking for just a free place to stay. I attended CS meetings in Helsinki and other places. Our house is opened for great people, so you're welcome!

Since I came to my first CS meeting in 2009 I met many great people. I've got unforgettable surfing experience in Finland, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Czech Republic and I can say that all my hosts were wonderful people so far. In 2012 I begun hosting in my house and usually it was really nice time spending!

Since we gave birth to our son, we don't host strangers anymore, but we're always happy to meet kids-friendly people in our home.

Since 2019 I organize hiking events near Helsinki. Join our amazing team!

Music, Movies, and Books

I hardly ever watch movies or TV. And they are usually historic or documentaries (National Geographic). Music: depends on day time, weather and thousands of other things :-) Soft rock, top40, lounge, chillout, house, disco, world. My best books are maps.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... Only one? Well, the first one: interrailing 23 cities in 5 countries in 18 days in 2003.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learn the life as it is. Maybe I'm too young to teach, but ask me, I've already learned something and I'd be happy to share my knowledge.
