Hi! My name is Rodion. I'm from Saint Petersburg, Russia. Now I live in Antalya, Turkey - nope:) UPD: Now I live in Joensuu, Finland!

Most people describe me as a calm and relaxed person which I think it's true. I constantly try to challenge myself and to discover new things.

I'm a hitchhiker, musician, Spanish translator, programmer. I love Finland and my biggest dream came true - now I live here!

I enjoy slow moments and enjoy spending time alone. At the same time, I appreciate moments when I get to know new people. I prefer spending quality time with one person or with a small group of people rather than being at crowded events.

I will do my best to make your stay as comfortable as possible, wherever I live.

One of my hobbies is music. I have a band called
"Poor Leo", inst, vk @poor_leo_band.

I love paper cups, I collect them from different places, I have four high towers of them :D Each cup keeps an impression of that moment/place. So it's like a paper photo - it brings the memory, so the moment is kept, not lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Thanks to the CS I had the best moments of my life meeting great people and discovering new places!

Movies: I'm into cosmic sci-fi movies - absolutely love to get lost in a deep atmospheric story. Also I'm a huge fan of David Lynch.
