I believe that the most important thing in life is self-development. I love teaching but I also enjoy learning. Every day I try to learn something new, so I can say that my main hobby is gaining new knowledge.

About my personal interests, I am fond of sport, but my main passion is snowboarding. I am also interested in art - I can’t imagine my life without monthly visits to the theater, opera, modern ballet or symphony orchestra and I love reading. Every week / two I attend various exhibitions - modern art, impressionism, post-impressionism, and photography are the most interesting for me. I also shoot on camera while traveling - it is important for me to catch the right angle, so I can struggle to take a perfect photo for 10-15 minutes (apart from the following editing). In Moscow, I only shoot on iPhone and most often the architecture (planning to complete a course on architecture). And finally, I try to travel as often as possible, and here I want to quote my favorite saying by Aurelius Augustine - “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page”.

I am also interested in economics (especially behavioral), economic sociology and psychology. I believe that a person who understands the nature and essence of other people, has a certain advantage in our world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I would like to explore the world by exchanging cultural and personal experience, making new friends, investigating new places, filling myself with unforgettable memories and positive energy and by looking for adventures.
