About Me

In a nutshell: I'm open-minded smart young person.

Now I study at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and I hope to become a scientist one day. My area of scientific interests is Condensed matter physics.
Since I live in a dorm I don't have an opportunity to host surfers -- hope some day I will. But if you are in Moscow and want to meet up, please, feel free to contact me. I can show you the city.

One of my hobbies is photography. Watch out an album with some examples of my photos at https://www.flickr.com/photos/103462916@N05/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience different cultures, broaden the horizons and make friends.

Interests

One of my passions is hiking and camping. I like to live in the nature and take interesting challenging trips into the wild. Usually I spent most of my summertime in the forests.

I play a guitar. If you play and have an instruments, we can jam together!

Now I'm studying to become a physicist, so my prior interests are scientific.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-- I jumped with a parachute.
-- I slept in a wild forrest with no cover.

Teach, Learn, Share

I surely can teach you my native language -- Russian -- and tell you as much as you like about country and culture.
I'm found of astronomy, so I can show you the night sky, it’s very romantic.
I can teach you how to play guitar, but I should warn you, it takes much time effort.

I would like learn many things. Surely, I hope to learn your local language. I would like to learn any crafting or cooking skills with pleasure!

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all it is a good time spent together. I surely hope to make friends with my host.

Practically, I may bring with me some national food or souvenir from my country as a present, just let me know you want one.

I can take some good photos of you;)
