About Me

Sport journalist

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing - it's a great opportunity to explore world, meet interesting people and exchange experience.

Interests

I’m passionate about football – whether it’s playing, watching, or debating who’s the GOAT.

I love discovering new places, trying local food, and learning recipes along the way.

Humor is my fuel, and I believe good jokes (even bad ones) bring people together.

I also enjoy speaking foreign languages and having deep or silly conversations with people from different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the energy and storytelling in The Killers' music – it’s my go-to soundtrack for both travel and work.

One of my all-time favorite movies is Shutter Island – I enjoy films that keep you guessing until the last minute.

When it comes to books, I’m a big fan of classic crime fiction – especially the works of James Hadley Chase and Arthur Conan Doyle. Give me a smart detective and a twisty plot, and I’m hooked.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve hitchhiked over 10,000 kilometers across different countries – from highways to mountain roads, from rainy nights to sunny coastlines.

It’s been one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life, filled with spontaneous moments, kind strangers, and unforgettable stories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Russian, share travel hacks, and show you how to cook a few simple (but tasty!) dishes. I’d love to learn more about your culture, language, and favorite local spots. I truly enjoy exchanging stories, perspectives, and good humor – that’s what makes Couchsurfing special.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share good conversations, travel stories, and lots of positive energy.

I'm always happy to cook something for my guests to bring a relaxed and respectful vibe.

If you're up for it, I can teach you some Russian or challenge you to a card game I’ve learned on the road.
