I'm moved to USA recently so can't hist in Yakutsk anymore.

CURRENT MISSION

A journey of a thousand lightyears begins with a single step. Keep walking!

ABOUT ME

I'm 30, IT-manager, try-to-be photographer from Yakutsk, Russia. I live in heart of Siberia's wildest part with 8 months of winter when temperature drops to -50C. Living in the coldest city in the world not really easy, so I prefer travel as much as I can. Travelled all over Asia from Malaysia to Mongolia and Korea to Tibet. Going back to Asia this winter!

Russia is my homeland and my ethnicity is sakha (not chinese, korean or japanese etc, even I use japanese smiles like this ^____^). We are small but proud inigenous nation of Siberia. Nice to meet you, whoever you are!

PHILOSOPHY

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was first member of CS in Yakutsk and made a lot of work to make this awesome idea popular in our city. I'm so happy that now there more then 100+ members and counting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Brilliant! I met a lot of awesome people here, experienced unique, breathtaking moments and this is just the beginning!

Interests

Walk trough narrow lanes of old towns, drink latte and watch a street crowd trough window, lay on still hot sand beach just after sunset and count revealing stars, get lost in totally unknown city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like classic rock from Beatles to Queen, female jazz vocal from Ella Fitzerald to Katie Melua, uplifting and balearic trance, great bands of 90s from Nirvana to Oasis and post-rock symphonies. Quite a wide range of music? Hell yeah! And thats not even a half of list. How people can live without music? It's like someone loves you, just press "Play".

Literature is my passion. Especially poetry and history. When I don't sleep or work I read.

Don't miss any Hollywood premiere in nearest multiplex but watch a lot of different movies from Italian neorealism classic to festival only visual experiments (last one is almost a shit all the time ^___^).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited 31 countries and still counting. The goal is to reach 100 before I turn 50.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you russian 'cause I have philology education. I can help you with Internet-stuff 'cause with my work I involved with making of web-sites, internet-marketing and business, professional blogging etc. Btw, I quite good in budget travelling and can tell how make it cheap. Spend 5$ per day in China? Buy ticket from Europe to South America less than 300$ RT? This is easy!

I will be really appreciated if you can teach me how to cook some traditional food of your country. As you can see on my photos I never say "No" for delicious food ^____^
