A 28 year old guy from Russia with Central Asian roots and living experience in different countries and cultures. Geography and public transport geek, wannabe urbanist. Going to study architecture or traffic engineering and solve the transport chaos in your town. Humanist, liberal, cosmopolitan and a night owl.

Working as an IT technician in Moscow, studying Swedish at Malmö University and volunteering for Side by Side LGBT International Film Festival (St. Petersburg / Moscow).

I don't have any references here on Couchsurfing so far, but you can find some on my Airbnb profile: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/6814499

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd rather just walk (or bike) around the town and soak up it's atmosphere than visit tourist attractions and follow typical tourist routes – pretty much the same with accommodation. I like hostels, but would love to dive into local life. As a host or a guide I also try to show more than just popular sights of my town.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Russian as my native language and study Swedish intensively, so any questions about them are welcome. Would also love to learn something about your language.

Valuable travel tips, mostly for Northern and Eastern Europe as well as ex-Soviet countries; can cook some Russian food.
