I'm a curious traveller and lifelong learner. My interests range from philosophy and languages to programming and startups.

Being open-minded, social and curious, I love to hang out but more to take the time to savor a good cup of tea or read a book in a park or just talk about interesting things and enjoy life. They say I have a great deal of common sense, which means I love adventures as long as they're safe :)

I'd love to have interesting discussions, share my travel stories and what it's like living in Russia. I'd like to meet people from other countries and get to know their everyday way of living - something that you won't see from the window of a tourist bus. Also having a nice quiet place to sleep and rest after a long day is important for me.

I am a non-smoker, omnivore. At home I walk for an hour every day and do yoga. I'm usually an early bird. I love cats, dogs, birds, flowers and people :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled a lot staying at hotels and at friends'. Staying with people is much more interesting for me because I like to discover other culture and habits, discover countries through people who live there.
