I'm born in the capital of the Russia automotive idustry - in Togliatti.
For as long as I can remember, I have always been inquisitive. That is likely why I originally chose to become a journalist. While still a student, I began working for local automotive and high-tech publications. I also had the opportunity to work in radio—not as a DJ, but as a content creator.

For some time after graduating, I continued writing for magazines and newspapers and working in broadcasting. However, I gradually began devoting more time to my IT hobbies until they evolved into a full-time career. Even in the IT field, I remain curious, open to new ideas, and always open to connecting with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, this project is not about economy travel. It is about community. I am here to meet open-minded people who enjoy sharing their culture and life stories. I hope to connect with locals who are passionate about their hometown and can show me the side of the city that a standard guide would miss

What I Can Share with Hosts

First and foremost, I offer good company and meaningful conversations. I am deeply passionate about cinema, music, and art. I’m always happy to discuss your favorite movies, exchange music recommendations, or visit a local museum or gallery together.

Coming from a journalism background, I am a storyteller at heart, but I am an even better listener. I would love to hear your life stories and learn about the local culture through your eyes.

Also, I work in IT, so if you have any issues with your computer, your laptop, Wi-Fi, or gadgets, I would be more than happy to help you fix them!
