We are Renat and Elina. We are 24 and 25 years old. We are slow travelers. Slow because we like to dive into local life and enjoy every moment of a journey.

Renat is active and optimistic, he loves rock, blues, funk, and especially Red Hot Chili Peppers band. Also, he plays the guitar and learns to play drums.

I’m (Elina) calmer. My work and my passion are documentaries. I have own movies. Mostly, they are about the simple lives of simple Russian people. I love to notice something unusual in usual and film it.

We are a friendly couple of many-sided persons. In our free time, we like to watch movies, read books, walk a lot and take photos. We like dogs and cats and can't pass by when we face them.

Each of us has remote work. Renat has its own business of selling electronic equipment in Kazan. I work as a director and a photographer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's new experience for us.
We want to meet cool people around the world.
We think that local people can help us to explore their country
