Georgiy Romanov, naive photographer, born and living in suburban area of Moscow since 1986. Love to ride bicylces, walking on the streets with camera, playing airsoft. I believe in the power of film photography. Looking for new ideas, projects and friends around the world. Studying Japanese as my second non-native language, always try to improve my english language. I drink alcohol on holidays and major events. I do not smoke and not like night clubs and noisy parties.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have foreign friends in Moscow, Americans and Japanese. Now they have left for home and I really miss. I drove them to various cities of Russia many times, but I have never been abroad. I can be your guide in Moscow and other cities in Russia. At the moment I can not receive guests. This November, I make my first trip abroad to Japan and I want to make new friends, absorb the culture and live life of this country, as well as learn the Japanese language.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly I prefer Japanese Animation in genres like cyberpunk and fantasy. My favorite movies are Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor, Cowboy Bebop series and Hayao Miyazaki. In music, my preferences on jazz, classical rock, blues. Also love experimental and ethnic music. From the books I read only manga last time :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I try not to miss opportunities. In every way I try to help people and not to do things, which later I will be sad. In more material things I organized several photo exhibitions and published a photo book.

Teach, Learn, Share

Looking for opportunities to learn Japanese and English. I constantly organize and conduct creative meetings and master classes dedicated to photography. I write articles and share my impressions in my video blog about cameras, photograhers and photographs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories. A lot of funny stories. I can also cook something simple from russian cousine, help you do the work that you most do not want to do. If you are studying Russian or want to learn more about our culture, I can help you. English is not my native language, but I speak it well.
