Hello everyone! I am a backpacker and hitchhiker and I’ve been travelling around the world since 2017. I love discovering new cities and countries, getting acquainted with local people, their traditions and culture. Most of all I like to travel around south-east Asia. I have my YouTube channel about travelling: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCt-JArwReWCnO50wGXbUjLA And I also organise group tours in different countries and I love showing the World to people. I lead a healthy lifestyle, do not drink, do not smoke, do sports, such as fitness, group training, boxing and weightlifting. I am happy to walk along the streets of cities, overcoming per day more than 15 kilometers. I always make interesting routes for walking, having previously studied all sights. I like hiking in the mountains, as well as swimming in the ocean, scuba diving and snorkel. I like riding motorcycles, scooters and cars. I dream to visit many countries and live there, immersed in their customs and real life.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I want to meet new friends in different parts of the World. After all, local people like no one else know the most beautiful and interesting places of their city. Visiting such people and living in their houses for a couple of days, it becomes possible to plunge into the traditional way of life. Since I travel a lot, I also have something to share. Photos, stories and I can dispel or confirm stereotypes about Russia ;)
Music, Movies, and Books
I like Russian rock, for example bands like: ДДТ, Би2, Земфира, Сплин, Кукрыниксы и Кино. I love films of historical, documentary and adventure genres. For example, "7 years in Tibet".
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I started flying to China for tea in 2009. I opened the first tea club in Samara, when a cafe of this format was not yet available. I acted in Indian movies in Bollywood a few times! I fulfilled the Candidate Master's standard for bench press. The weight of the bar was 175 kilograms and took the second place in Samara. I swam in all oceans on this planet!
