Overview
About Me
I'm a young traveler from Russia, Saint Petersburg, who enjoys small things. I can be happy just by playing my guitar or ukulele, by watching a sunset or a sunrise, by listening to the rain on my window, by seeing people smiling and making people smile, by spending time with my nearest and dearest, by playing with animals, by painting all day long, by printing photos from memorable event, by buying new vinyl record, by eating an apple pie, by riding a bicycle, by skiing or snowboarding in the mountains, by being in nature, by sunshine, by watering flours every morning on my balcony... And definitely by traveling, meeting new people and getting acquainted with different cultures. I'm keen on adventuring and easily take new challenges, so I'm ready to go to different places of the world whenever I have a chance.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For me travelling is not only about visiting sightseeing, but also learning about culture and lifestyle of citizens. That's why I find it a great idea to live in such conditions, to communicate with locals and get a full understanding of how people live in one or another country.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
I enjoy different music, I can listen metal or reggae or hip hop, it is depends on my mood. But mostly I prefer to listen to old school rock, juzz, psychedelic rock, indie rock
Especially enjoy listening my favourite songs on my vinyl record-player:)
Books:
I read mostly Russian classic. I'll just name those bookes that touched my heart and made me think, they are everything I've read from Jack London(my favorite author ), almost everything I've read from Mikhail Bulgakov, especially "The Master and Margarita", everything I've read from Alexsandr Kuprin. Vladimir Nabokov "Mary", Mikhail Lermontov "A hero of our time", Gabriel García Márquez "One hundred years of solitude", Erich Maria Remarque "Heaven has no favorites" and "Arch of Triumph", Maxim Gorky "The lower depths", Jules Verne "In search of the castaways"
Movies: Amélie, Pulp Fiction, Serendipity
I also adore a sitcom "Friends" :)
