[for surfers: currently don't have free space in the apartment so it's problematic to host people. but I'm always ready to show you the city! feel free to text me]
upd: I can even show you mountains around!

Hey everyone! My name is Vladislav (it pronounces like What is Love), but it's better to call me Vlad.
I am a photographer with an engineer degree who likes to work in restaurants as well, and also I have a hobby to learn basics of new languages every year :)

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I want to meet up with local people, get knowledge about their culture. It's the best way to get the most experience of travel.

Interesses

I do photography since 2010. Won some competitions of National Geographic and Wikimedia. Love nature photography, portraits and events. Now I do also commercial projects and production.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

1. When I was 19 I decided to make my own trip to the Balkans and despite of my friends' uncertainty, I've made it. 3 weeks trip with 3 countries and one backpack.
1.2. Made "a little walk" in shorts and a shirt hiking up on the height of 3200m to mount Kazbek (5033m).
1.3. Woke up at 4 a.m. to see the air balloons show in Cappadocia.
1.4. Survived almost the whole solo bussing summer season in a restaurant at New Jersey Shore.
1.5. Made a biking route of 60 km including lots of dirt, mountains and muscles seizures in the very end.
1.6. Participated in winter skiing marathon (57 km) around Oslyanka mountain in the Middle Ural. Was really close to start a chain of events that could kill me, but eventually I did it (not 57 km but 25 tho)

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Can teach you some of photography, or if you're not interested, I can teach you how to cook nice bolognese and marinara sauce, or if you're no interested in it, but its winter around, I can teach you how to snowboarding and skiing... if not, then I can infinitely talk and think about cosmology.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

I can share with you stories from my trips, teach you some Russian words :) and if you want I can take some good pics of you.
