About Me

I am a third year student of the Higher School of Economics and I study at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics. Today I live in Moscow and I believe that it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. However, I am open-minded, that's why I want to broaden my horizons and visit other wonderful places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As for me, Couchsurfing is the best way to explore culture of country and communicate with the locals. Really, I am sure that it allowes you to meet nice people and make new friends around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

What about music, it's difficult to select one group or one genre. I like classic rock bands such as the Clash, Doors, Oasis, Aerosmith and modern music like Twenty One Pilots, Foals, The xx and other.

Cinema is my passion, on the one hand, it can save me from the doldrums and, on the other hand, It raises important questions. I guess, my favorite directors are Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen and Xavier Dolan. List of films is huge and includes La vita è bella, Les Choristes, How to Steal a Million, Les Misérables, A Beautiful Mind and many others.

Finally, let's talk about literature. To my mind, Russian writers are perfect and my favourite of them is Dostoevsky. There are many books, which have influence on me, for example, Martin Iden, Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, 1984, An American Tragedy, Arc de Triomphe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably, it's skydiving. There are some reasons why I can call this thing as the most amazing. Firstly, I decided to skydive suddenly and one day later I did it. Secondly, I couldn't sleep before jump that's why I was scattered and couldn't focus on preparing to this thing. As a result, I had dislocated, but this day was fantastic and awesome! I often remember my first skydiving and want to do it again)
