About Me

I grew up in Russia, in the Moscow Region, but now I live in the UK.

I am a computer scientist, mathematician. In my free time I enjoy traveling, dancing and trying new stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Give and you shall receive. I like traveling, and it would be nice to meet new friends abroad. Also, to many times I felt like "I am in a foreign city and I have no idea how to do this or that." that's why I am willing to help people in the same situation.

Interests

Traveling, Dancing, Literature, Living history, Philosophy, History.

While not a devoted aficionado, I enjoy going to concerts, museums, exhibitions, theatre and cinema.
