I lived in the city of Ivanovo and spent most of my youth in the very south of Kamchatka. I graduated from university in Ivanovo and moved to Siberia - Langepas and Khanty-Mansiysk. I lived for a couple of years in the most beautiful city in Russia - St. Petersburg. Now I live on Staten Island in New York. I love traveling - Iโve visited 34 countries. Previously by car, now mostly by motorcycle. I traveled across Russia from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad. In 2012, I left Khanty-Mansiysk and traveled through Europe and the Balkans, visiting 18 countries and covering 20,000 km. I have traveled extensively across Europe and have visited almost all the states in the USA. I hold the Iron Butt and Iron Butt 2000 qualifications - I rode 1,610 km and 2,000 km respectively in 24 hours. I practiced Aikido. Iโve tried skiing, snowboarding, kiting, wakeboarding, diving, and have jumped out of planes and helicopters. I love extreme sports in all their forms. My current goals: learn English, Spanish, and French, complete the AFF course (parachute jumping), do a round-the-world trip (motorcycle, car, yacht), walk the Santiago de Compostela route, and swim across the Bosporus... โ๏ธ You can watch my Couchsurfing videos on my YouTube channel.

My Interests
I collect motorcycle license plates. Now in my collection there are license plates from more than 100 countries of the world. I have regular, police, military, taxi license plates. Over 350 license plates from motorcycles. Only from motorcycles, not from automobiles. One day I will create my own place with delicious beer and snacks, motorcycles on the walls and my collection of motorcycle license plates. โ๏ธ If you can help me with this and you can bring one motorcycle license plate for me - I will be very happy with it ๐๐๐
