Hi! I was born in Siberia, raised in Saint Petersburg, Russia, lived in Winnipeg, MB for 4 years and currently in Ottawa, ON. I speak English and Russian. I’m married too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people around me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a variety of music genres, but most often I prefer rock and drum-and-bass. As for movies/books, from fiction it's usually sci-fi, fantasy, and dystopias. Can't watch/read drama and horror. From non-fiction books it’s usually neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and medical and health science. Occasionally I read books on the topics of physics, business, and lifestyle. I challenge myself to read about 30 books per year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved from across the globe from Russia to Canada alone, without any acquaintances in the new country. I'm building my life from scratch and enjoying the process, even though there are some downsides.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning French. And neuroscience. Lol. I'm always learning something:)
