About Me

I have a girlfriend, Tanya, and we usually travel together.

LGBT and vegetarian friendly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring new widths. The more interesting people I meet throughout my life, the bigger and better our life experiences would be! And I believe it works both ways: I can teach you something new, as well as you can teach me.
I am not a big spender and I can live in pretty humble conditions as long as there is a good host.

Interests

I am a keen language enthusiast. I studied translation from English and Finnish, and now I am wiling to learn Polish :)
Also I am an amateur illustrator. I genuiney love art, design and architecture so any art museum or exhibition would fascinate me.
Although I live in Kaliningrad, which is close to Europe, I do not forget about my roots. I was born in the Notrh, that's why I know a lot about Scandinavia, Northern Russia and Pomors, a folk living the White Sea. I love learning more about other nations' cultures and traditions because of that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Stood on the Arctic Circle line right next to Santa Claus in Sami region of Finland
- Ate some strange spiky unknown fruit in Cyprus
- Gathered cloudberry in Russian North swamps
- Made a crossbow with my brother

Teach, Learn, Share

Now my main passion is learning how to draw. I used to give anatomy lessons a year ago, so if you never had a chance to try drawing human before, I can help you with that :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking both standart and vegetarian food and teach how to draw a human! If you're interested in Russian culture, I'd be happy to bring you some souvenirs (or even my drawings)
