About Me

Now I'm doing my masters in oriental studies in Moscow. So the main passions in my life are all connected with travelling, learning languages and culture (e.g. I specialize on Indonesia).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My life is connected with exploring and travelling.
My main passion is exploring my native country, Russia. I have my own travel blog about it in purpose to develop the tourism in Russia for its own citizens - I really want to show how amazing our country is. And me myself - my dream is to visit every region of Russia.

Secondly, the main conception of my blog is based on the idea that travelling is not booking the hotel or the pocket tour and spending lots of money on souvenirs - meeting locals, using couchsurfing and hitchhiking can give you much more with using much less money.

At last, I am an orientalist. Learning cultures is the thing that I'm really fond of - and it's no better way of doing it than exploring the world by yourself. Learning languages is also my thing - I already learn four and do not want to stop on it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the volcano through the jungle

Teach, Learn, Share

I expect the local host to help me exploring their city - it's not necessary to go with me somewhere, but if you know some great places and can give any advice, I will already be happy.
Sharing experience and communicating is something that is the most important. But if you're busy - I will never insist on it :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all - sharing stories and experience. I promise that I have plenty of things to tell and I really like to talk to new people - so I will also listen to you with the great pleasure.
I can also teach you Russian (if you don't know it), or, for example, Indonesian.
I'm really into any kind of hanging out that you want - so, if while I'm staying at yours you'll want to grab a beer somewhere, break into a party, visit some kind of cultiral event, or just go anywhere - no matter where until it's fun - I can make you a great company,
