Hi, guys!
My home city is St. Petersburg. This is the place where I work and create. I work in moviemaking, shooting shorts and writing scripts, and I'm really passionate about doing that. Besides, I'm craving for any kind of art and any fields intersecting with art. I identify myself as an amusing, curious and sincere person. People says that I am imaginative, helpful and always ready to hear out.
And something else, yes, I smoke, but if you don`t smoke and/or in your apartment is not allowed to smoke, it will not touch you. I respect the choice of non-smokers.

PHYLOSPHY
I’m a gedonist. In my life I rely on phylosophy of acceptance everything. It helps to people perceive reality easy and design personality features according to wants. The most valuable concept for me, is personal freedom and freedom of choice.
Whatever comes tomorrow happened yesterday.
CURRENT MISSION
This summer I plan a trip to Berlin. I heard a lot about that long-time traveling changes people and I want to experience that. I’m attracted of different way of thinking in other cultures, and I believe that I could learn something new from each of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first, there isn't better way to understand culture of other countries than feeling it inside during through communication with locals. Besides, couchsurfing gives great opportunities to meet new interesting people and practice language.
