Is there anybody going to listen to my story?
Hey! I am Ildar, from the Turko-Persian name "Ildar", meaning "Lord of the Lands".

I am a pipeline engineer at an oil and gas company on Sakhalin Island in the Far East of Russia.
I can summarize who I am in three words: calm, open-minded, and respectful.

I love languages, physical activities, walking through nature, traveling as much as possible, hanging out with friends, and making new ones. Currently, I'm learning Italian and playing tennis.

I'm also a keen photographer, especially interested in documentary and street photography. You can check out my profile on Instagram: @ildarphotography.

For me, the Couchsurfing project is about more than finding a place to crash for the night. It's always been about meeting and connecting with people from around the world. I love hearing from folks who feel the same way!
