Originally from Siberia, currently living and working in the most beautiful and poetic Russian city - Saint-Petersburg, waiting to move ahead in Europe.

I love art, music, literature, philosophy, cinema and history. I can share a lot of knowledge about my country and for sure will be interested in yours.

I feel absolutely happy abroad, can't help it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, Couchsurfing is a great way to get know an original culture and feel like I am home. Travelling and meeting interesting persons, trying new experiences, practising languages, get impressions for whole life.
