I am a multipurpose person, a frequent traveler who likes to widen the experience. I love good food, playing guitar, visualizing data, project management, open data, social and artistic activism. A good movie can save the evening, as a good talk or a nice techno/trance/ambient/rock/trip-hop party.

I moved to Saint Petersburg in 2014 and I quite love the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in finding hosts and giving place in our apartment. Exchanging experience is good.

Interests

I like to travel to cultural centers, natural places of interest and discos. I love the city space, design and architecture

I love making stuff from different materials)

I love the technology of laser cutting and engraving, I'm fond of creating models, I developed a cover for a laptop webcam, lights and decor.

I love real-time video editing and instruments like Resolume. I hope one day I will master it to be good enough)

For me, a walk around the city is an event. Alone with headphones, together with long conversations, or in a cheerful company with a chaotic direction of movement.

I love organizing events - games, parties, conferences, auctions and I also have some sound technics and lighting to do it. I organized Yuri's Night events in 2011, 2012, 2013 (Yekaterinburg), 2014 (Saint Petersburg).
