I grew up in Kasan, Russia and left home for Europe when I was 18, looking for new horizons, adventures and experience. Since then I never stopped traveling .I lived in Germany, England and Ireland, while studying and working and enjoying surroundings and people around me. After a big adventure last summer in Altai and Siberia in Russia, and Mongolia I can't want for the next one!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I joined CS a while ago and met great people from all around the world by offering a couch and staying and meeting locals in different places.

My best experience was in England, when CS enabled me to see many beatiful spots of the country and meet great people. Looking for a host in Birmingham I found a host who was from Ufa, Baschkir region - a neighbor tatar county in Russia. We sat in his kitchen in Birmingham and spoke tatar (our local minority language in Russia) and I could not believe it was happenning - CS made it possible!

Interessen

I feel very strong about human rights, especially freedom of expression - and it is the area of my studies and work and inner passion.
Recently I discovered painting and drawing. I am especially into live-potraits-drawing and comics, and was happy to submit my works as illustrations for online platforms and articles. At the moment I am working on a flipbook - an animated story!
