At present I'm studying in the graduate school of the Physics Department of Moscow State University, specializing in Optics. Areas of research - plasmonics and luminescence. I really love physics and everything connected with it, and I have been fond of military history since childhood. I know how to play piano and guitar a little (which I sometimes do with pleasure). In passing, I prepare myself for a half marathon distance and try to bring my knowledge of English to a conversational level. In the past, I traveled a lot in Russia (especially hitchhiking) - the Southern Urals, the Caucasus Mountains, Tien Shan (Kazakhstan), the Crimean Peninsula, Kazan, St. Petersburg and many other cities of my vast homeland. Also I climbed Elbrus - the highest point of Europe (5642 m) and jumped with a parachute, rafted on a makeshift raft in the Urals. In 2017, I traveled to Europe with friends, it was an unforgettable adventure: hitchhiking, couchsurfing, a lot of new things, new people, I think I would like to repeat it again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason for my presence on the couchsurfing is banal - a cheerful trip, with the opportunity to get to know people with a different culture and language, to learn their country from the inside.
