About Me

Environmental journalist from Russia studying forest fires in Sweden. Open-minded, curious. Like hiking, reading, sleeping.

I'm delicate, punctual, and clean surfer, respect other people's space. I’ll be happy to hang out with you if you have time, but if you are busy I won't mess around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Guidebooks suck, locals are all I need
CS resolves many issues along with housing, it let you explore new places from inside, hang out with locals, find new friends

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- taught 60s rock music history in a summer camp
- run marathons in Prague and Athens
- hitchhiked in Iceland with my dad

Teach, Learn, Share

I can perfectly wash the dishes and whistle The Beatles songs. And I can do it at the same time!
