I have a passion to travelling, exploring new cultures and love meeting people from all over the world.
Open to new experience, challenges, adventures.
I'm trying to make the world better every day as much as I can.

I am a graduate of Moscow State University and University of London where I did Oriental Studies. Lived in London for a year and a half, in Istanbul for a couple of months (used to learn Turkish), in France and UAE for a short time. Currently live in Moscow.
I adore exploring Russia, where I travelled a lot for the recent time: Kamchatka, Murmansk and Arctic Ocean, Lake Baikal, Altai, Kaliningrad, Krasnodar region, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Buryatia Republic, Kazan', Novgorod, St. Petersburg, Moscow neighbouring areas... This fall I am planning a trip to India and to the Russian Caucasus.

Future is now.

The only changes we need are ourselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would enjoy to be your travel guide in Moscow or Moscow area, so you can get the maximum of your visit. Personal approach and the route according to your preferences is a must.
I can pick you up from the airport and drop off at the place of your stay, vice versa as well.
I have a comfortable big car where up to 6 guests can fit.
Please, feel free to ask me in case you need any tips in Moscow.
If you plan a journey to other Russian regions - I can help you with my own advice and experience, as well as arrange it for you at special rates. It will also be my pleasure to be your translator on whatever you need.

I wish you a lovely journey and I believe you will have a wonderful time in Moscow! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a month eurotrip experience when I was 17, travelled to Japan and mount Fuji, "swam" in the salty Dead Sea, went safari in the desert in UAE and Egypt, enjoyed incredible and unique Auroville in India, fed monkeys from hands, climbed the top of Vesuvio volcano, explored the ancient ruins of Pompeii full of kind stray dogs, visited Auschwitz concentration camp memorial in Poland, had long walks down in Paris Catacombs and the catacombs of Edinburgh, climbed the volcanos of Kamchatka, saw bears walking around over there, sailed with killer whales around in the Bering Sea, swam in Lake Baikal and lots of other things.
