I'm Russian Korean born in Uzbekistan who lived in Malaysia and now call Australia home. Diverity is a gift to me from life. I believe in free markets but second a fair go for all as much.

Currently work as a procurement officer and trying to launch my own thing. Usually spend time working out or doing photography after work as well as cooking. I've got a partner I live with and am 26 years of age.

Bench press personal best is 150kg.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Realisation of how big of a barrier accommodation cost is having travelled extensively I've decided that couch surfing could be a nice way of giving not just to the community by the whole world plus there's so much you'd get in return. By first I'd like to try it myself before I host anyone not to fail people.

Interests

Martial arts, soccer and photography. Just love both doing it and watching it!

I try to encourage evey soul to exercise. There's no good excuse and I work out even when I travel. Love to watch soccer games and discuss with people who know something about European soccer leagues.
But my main passion is photography. Though I do not have enough time at the moment I am so in love with it. Having spent more money on it than my car!

Music, Movies, and Books

Linking Park, Gladiator and 'War and Peace'

Alternative Rock is my fav although my top rated list on iTunes has tracks from classics to hip hop.

I'm fond of reading with I get time for it. I prefer detective and good old russian classics such as 'World and preace'.

Love watching movies on huge screens although my living room is set as a little cinema with 5.1 surround sound and etc. my fav movies are gladiator and lotr!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed on the most amazing beach in the world, Whitehaven Beach, for 5 days having watched the sky full of stars on the new years night.

When you have no electronics or walls and stare at the bare night sky grandioseness and spectacularness of it connects you with nature making you see what you've never experienced before. It's unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

Martial Arts, Languages and Photography.

I could show a couple of arm bars and submissions. Teach you some new languages and show the other 90% of your camera and your skills which you never knew of but always had.

As mentioned above my diversity is rich enough to tell you at least a few stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Firstly, I'm a keen part taker in any interesting conversations. I love philosophy, politics, economics, religion and sports. And of course photography. But always like to get onto new grounds.

Cultural experience is definitely something I'm in possession of. Tips or answers on countries I've lived in.

Photography, IT and home gadgets is something I teach myself but would love to share with others. And of course I can let you know how to buy things in various industries as I work in procurement.

Fianally, I would most of all love to share laughter, funny stories and and some nice drinks. Cooking? Anytime, just love it!
