About Me

Hi there! I'm a curious 21 yo life lover from Russia. At the age of 18 I left my little home in Siberia and (as soon as the snow melted and the roads out of the city were open) moved to Saint-Petersburg, where I study law so far. There I found out another life full of most different people and cultures behind them existed. And now I explore this wonderful world having long deep talks, trying new stuff and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing for me is the way to know that there is a full basket of different and new ideas, ways of thinking and living. Sometimes it's necessary to see the different world to make this planet better and friendly for everyone.

Interests

Travelling is on the top of my interests list. I deeply enjoy to walk down a street staring at architectures. Old buildings of classicism is really my passion. I'm in love with the mountains and all about these masterpiece of nature as well. Also I don't mind listening to different stories, because I'm always interested in "how did it happen? and what was it caused by?"

Actually I listen to anything that goes, but my favourites are Sum 41, Red Hot Chili Peppers and System of a Down, Blink 182.
As for movies... it's a standard set of Star Wars and Lord of the Ring ) also I'm a big fan of Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino
Mostly I read Russian literature, but also prefer E. Remarque, Е. Hemingway. However my favourite books are Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and Demons by F. Dostoyevsky

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The craziest thing I've done is to jump with a parachute) Also every January I dive into the ice hole, it's an old russian tradition.
