I'm an engineer-physicist working in National Research Nuclear University "Mephi" and processing data from a satellite-born experiment. There are some big events on my bucket list which I'm planning these days: Learning Japanese in Japan; Participation in an archeological expedition in Mongolia; HitchHiking in Italy. Another thing I want to do is to visit Iceland, South Korea; to take part in a production of an animation (Though I need to learn how to draw first, but this is also in my to do list =)). Also may be important things I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't drive any vehicle except the bicycle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interesting to meet new people from around the world, to find a company in travels and to make friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode by my bicycle from Gelendjik to Novorossisk on Russian shore of Black Sea and met near the city some Central Asian man riding old soviet designed bicycle with big bag on its luggage rack. I thought that it is a migrant laborer since one often can meet such one in Russia. So it happens that we start to speak to each other and I learn that this man had been traveling on his bicycle 5000km from Uzbekistan when we meet and going to Taman peninsula and plan to rest there, also I have learned that he traveled such a way last five years, he has visited riding his old bike almost whole Middle East and post-soviet republics. And when he needed a money he really became a migrant laborer in cities and towns which he pass. He said me that best job he prefer in first place is to be yardman in Moscow at winter, he likes to clean roofs of snow. This is awesome man, and he broke my stereotypes about Central Asian migrant laborers cleaning Moscow streets!
