My name is Val and I am 26. I live in Russia, in the city of Korolev. It's a suburb of Moscow, about 30 minutes by car from Moscow City center. My wife and me are fond of travelling and meeting new people. We try to visit new countries every time we are having a vacation, and so far we are doing it well. =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As we travel a lot, we like not only seeing places but also trying to feel it. And it's kind of hard for a foreigner to feel all the atmosphere of city or country without little help from the natives. This site is great opportunity to meet new people and to spend some time discovering new sides of different countries and people living there.

Interests

Different types of sports - football, basketball, little bit of tennis. Like playing football myself, basketball and tennis only watching. Also I like playing poker, texas holdem mostly. And of course, as I wrote earlier - travelling and discovering new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer different kind of music really, as long as it has good lyrics in it - so the song does make sense. And I extremely like watching movies. Can't even tell all the favorites, there are lot's of them. Don't have a favorite book I guess, right now reading Hunger Games trilogy - seems good. Much better then the movie, although I did like the movie, first part mostly..
