Hi there! I was born and grew up in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Most of my life I lived with my family in the heart of the city. And since very early years and until now I'm in love with SPB! :)

In school years I was highly influenced by two interests and I'm still passionate about them - 3D Graphics and music (I'm playing guitar). 3D graphics is now my profession, after university I started to work on freelance base. Music is only my hobby now, but I'm hoping one day I can apply it to something good.

During school and university years I was spending lots of time playing video games. Now I'm rarely doing it, but sometimes I still play old RPGs and Strategies. I also have warm feelings to DnD! But it is few years now since my last session.

Nowadays I'm still in Saint Petersburg, living a bit far from center on my own. And still work where I live.

Until age of 22 I've never was anywere besides Russia, but then I had work trip to China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Ukraine. Since then I'm passionate about traveling and my goal is to see other countries and learn more about other cultures.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To meet new people with whom I could share experiences and emotions and just have a good time! Interested to show guests in Saint Petersburg my beloved hometown and would be pleased to find company during my traveling. I would very appreciate to hang out with local people! :)

Algo increíble que he hecho

Being a kid I was acting in films, some of them were absolutely not intersting in my opinion (I don't even remember the names), but two of them I will remember my whole life. First was by legendary director Alexei German and his film "Hard to Be a God" - absolutely unique experience for a kid. And second, "The Ugly Swans" of Konstantin Lopushansky. I think this experience influnced me a lot.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm always open to share knowledge, teach and learn. That is important and one of the most interesting parts of our life! :)
