Hey! I'm a Russian guy from Latvia, currently living in Athens, Greece. I'm a big enthusiast of exploring, traveling, and meeting interesting people. I believe everyone has a unique story to share, and I love discovering those stories.

I’m really into immersing myself in new cultures, trying local cuisines, and learning languages. I enjoy getting to know a place through its people, exploring its way of life and its nature. Open-minded and easygoing, and always up for an adventure

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me CS has an amazing community and is one of the best ways to connect with inspiring people from all over the world. It offers the chance to listen to incredible stories, share my own experiences, and bring the essence of a journey into your home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m mostly into melancholic and emotionally charged music. Particularly ambient, soul, indie, house and techno. I’m always open to exploring your music since it’s one of the key ways to experience someone’s world.

I’m passionate about cinematography, how it works and what this powerful tool can offer us. I watch a lot of different movies from all around the globe. Some of what I like: A. Tarkovsky, E. Kusturica, C. Kaufman, C. Nolan.

Russian classic literature, scientific and historical books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

100 days of non-stop hitchhiking trip around Central Europe and the Balkans.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don’t see myself as someone here to teach. I believe we all learn through our unique journeys and experiences. For me, it’s about exchanging stories, emotions, and moments that build meaningful connections. I’m always happy to share pieces of my life - whether it’s travel adventures, creative projects or a different perspective.
