I'm a software developer and my hobby is traveling. I'm originally from Russia and now I live in London UK. I love exploring new places and meeting fellow Couchsurfers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first CS experience was surfing in Germany in 2012, then I hosted in Helsinki and Budapest where I studied and now I live in Canada where I can host you.

I met a lot of friends on CouchSurfing. What I love about it is that I'm still in touch with people whom I hosted 5 years ago.

Interests

IT, computers & programming, biking, board games and cooking. It would be my pleasure to cook you something and show you around the city.

I'm also collecting city maps and if I host you it would be awesome if you can bring me a map of your city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy reading about history, social and political science and would love to discuss books and learn about your favorite ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking in the Alps and on the ocean beach, mountain climbing and fjords in Norway, giving a talk on a conference in front of 300 people. Visiting Venice Beach in Los Angeles and riding a skateboard along the Pacific, biking 1000 kilometers in Europe with my friend in 10 days.

I can teach cooking and some of the Russian cuisine, as well as about traveling long distance by bike.
