My name is Mikhail. I'm 22 years old and I'm from Russia. Now I'm student of Higher School of Economics in Moscow. I am pretty good in English, so if you speak it, we can have an interest conversation about everything you want. I visited 9 European countries and the USA. After some of these journeys I made videos and now I create my own blog with the stories about my trips. You can see it here: placiddeer.ru. Unfortunately all texts are on Russian language but you can see all videos that I made, they are the most interesting part of my site. So I'm young man from Russia and I like to travel. I think travel make emotions and I like to keep it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm young I want to travel more, visit more places, make more photos and get a lot of experience. But unfortunately now I'm a student and I can't pay for expensive hotels. In more times I have money just for airplane. And it means, that I cant go to another country, when I want to do it. I think that Couchsurfing is the place where people can help you to make real your dreams about travelling. Because they are the same travelers and dreamers as you.

Interests

I know, it sounds trivial, but I really like to travel. I think I'm here just because of it. As I sad earlier, I made my own website with my travel stories and videos. So I like to make photo and create video too. Recently I bought two old Soviet cameras and they are very cool. I like to use them in my trips or just at home. Also I like snowboarding and some of my journeys are connected with it. Vacation in the mountains is probably my favorite, so sometimes sitting in the snow is much better for me than walking through most beautiful cities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I reached a speed of 102,8 km/h on my snowboard.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As I say, I'm from Russia. So I can share stories about it. Stories about living in Russia, or travelling here. I think people from another World would like to learn something about my far country. Also I can say about my travelling experience if host would like to know it. In any case, I think we will find common language with host. Hope my knowledge of the English language will not fail.
