I'm manager at videogames store and a big fan of Italian food :) I love traveling because traveling is always an adventure. New stories, new friends, new experience - all these things are a part of great adventure. You can buy new iPhone or Lamborghini but you will never buy new friends. After my first trip abroad 7 years ago, I decided to change my life. Now I see that new travels, new friends, new experience and knowledge about different cultures are more important than new phone, computer or car. I tend to find my way in traveling and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me Couchsurfing is one of the biggest opportunities in life. Any visit to a new place not only gives me a chance to discover new places, but also it's a great way to met new people. Whenever you go - you can always find couchsurfers and have great time together. I think Couchsurfing is one of the greatest things on the Internet, because it provides reliable connection with people from all over the globe. Couchsurfing is a social network where travellers help each other out throughout the world and I liked that.

Interests

I like to make photos and videos while travelling. I think the most important feature of any trip is memories you get. If I can save memories I will do it. When I go for a walk in a big city I always bring my camera to save events on photo or video.

Video Games are one of my biggest passion in life. I have been playing since I was a kid and gaming has become my job. I play games, write reviews, make videos and help other gamers in community with questions about consoles and games. I am a Microsoft Xbox MVP and I proud of it.

Currently, I am working as a manager in a game shop in the heart of Saint-Petersburg .
