I'm a graphic designer located in St. Petersburg and when I'm not working I'm travelling. I like to meet new people especially from other countries because it's great to know how people live around the world. It's much more interesting to live like a local than to stand in a queue to museum ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me travelling is not just sightseeing and visiting famous landmarks. Travelling is a great ability to see how people live in different countries and cities, to meet new interesting people and even new good friends. During my travels I'm always trying to meet new people and now I'm on Couchsurfing because it's the best way to do it. It is much more worthy for me to visit some homeparty or crowded bar than see some postcard views. It is much more worthy to live like a local than stay in boring hotels. I hope that Couchsurfing is not about free places to stay, it's about communication, cultural exchange and sharing your passions. That's why I'm on Couchsurfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm almost just like you, so maybe we better grab some beer and just chat a little?
But seriously I can teach you some russian language (what a surprise:)), tell some stories about beeing graphic designer, about russian underground punk/hc scene,
about countries I've been and people I've met.
I'd like to learn something about different countries and cultures, about stereotypes that can be broken, people and places all over the world.
