Nice engineer couple from Moscow.

Where to start? I was born in Ulyanovsk (Lenin hometown btw) and Ilia lived in Saransk. We attended same University in Moscow and never separate since first year. We both are programmers, I'm in aviation and Ilia in medical devices sphere. I'm pretty lazy person and don't like to go out often, and don't have too much free time anyway. Instead we like play board games with friends, for example Game of Thrones or Pandemic, and Magic the gathering...
I like swimming, August night sky, my kickbike, cats (don't have my own yet) and growing mint on my balcony.
Ilia is really into microelectronics, besides he loves bicycling, our local nature and night campfires, and ofcourse playing guitar. He can play something for you if you have guitar, but beware, he plays mostly russian songs ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think you cannot understand country as much as if you associate with its people. We want to see the world through eyes of different people and share our own view :)

Interests

Programming contests, board games, computer games, science, evolution theory, open source
