I am an exchange student from Russia, currently studying in Binghamton, NY.

I have started traveling at the age of 12 with my basketball team. Since then I enjoy seeing new places, meeting different people, and learning about the world around.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way of traveling. By meeting and staying with locals one can get much more out of traveling. This includes getting information about good places in the city, exchanging cultures and life experiences, and seeing things from different points of view.

Intereses

Most of my free time I spend studying, talking to my friends, and working on simple electronic projects.

Música, películas y libros

Listen to almost all kinds of music depending on the mood.

Do not watch movies a lot, only if there is a good company :)

Enjoy reading, although it is hard to find time because there are too many interesting things to do in our world!
Like Russian classics, such as Pushkin, Lermontov, Chekhov, Turgenev, Bulgakov. Used to read a lot of dystopian novels (Orwell, Huxley, Zamyatin), books about World Wars, and science fiction.

Algo increíble que he hecho

At the age 19 participated in the exchange program and moved from Russia to the US for one year.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Experience and knowledge exchange is one of the major purposes of traveling. It is very interesting for me to listen to people's life stories. However, I enjoy sharing my experience and telling people about my country and traditions as well.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Good conversations, history and traditions of my country, poor skills of cooking national cuisines, and help with math homework :)
