Hi, I am André Saltymakov a 18 year old friendly guy from Nothern Germany.
I just graduated from high school this year and plan to start studying.
Right now I am travelling on my own with my EU-sponsored Interrailticket. I hope to have many experiences on this first backpack trip.

Besides science I love photography and learning new stuff. In my free time I enjoy all kinds of sports, especially sports where I can explore my surroundings (running, biking, hiking...), aditionally I just fell in love with indoor bouldering.

I hope we see eachother soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Pretty good friends adviced me to come here to get to know nice people on my trip.
Also I am trying to have a good mixture of "housings" on my trip. After staying in a hostel in Vienna and before sleeping at friends places, I really want to try couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading right now: "Homo Deus" by Yuval Noa Harari
Watching right now (series): "Abstract: The Art of Design" (besides some easier ones)
Just watched: "Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things"

Besides that I love music. Classic, piano, rock, pop, rap, reggae, ska ... The list can go on as long as you want to put boundaries on to music ;)
The bands I love are mostly unknown by the people around me, but maybe you will surprise me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Guess nothing really special to write here. But everything what I did what was amzing to me really pushes me to go forward in my life.
I think besides the trip itself (which is done by 25000 other european people of my age) the amazing thing for me about the trip will be the photographic art book I am planning to create. It will be about europes cities, streets and people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can cook together Russian dishes or Lasagne or improvise and do something abstract.
Well surprisingly I'd love to have conversations with you. Prefferably about science, technology, politics and a philosophical view on life itself.
