Hello!

I come from a small northern Russian town called Arkhangelsk.
I am a big travel and hitchhiking enthusiast. Hitchhiked in 8 different countries and planning to do that in many more. As for me, it's the most enjoyable way to learn about cultures and places.
For years I'm also passionate about photography, music, theater and architecture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of meeting new people and exploring new thoughts and experiences moves me towards adventures!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some photography techniques, tell about Russian traditions and cultural features. Also can share stories from my trips and festivals I took part in as a folk dance performer.
Introvert and not much of a chatterbox, though easy going and always enjoying a good conversation.
