About Me

CURRENTLY LIVING IN THE UK! SORRY, I CAN'T HOST ANYONE! :(

Open-minded, friendly, sociable, decent.

I was born in West Siberia but I live in Saint Petersburg. Currenttly I'm doing MSc in the UK and trying to combine it with travelling across the country. There are so many places to visit!

I always like to meet new people and share experience and exciting stories

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and want to do it as much as possible. So I need some places to live in))) Also the locals usually knows more secret places in the place which you can't find in guide book.
I always like to meet new people and share experience and exciting stories where couchsurfing becomes a perfect tool.

Interests

I haven't been playing piano for 5 years but I found now great place to practice on my campus so I'm looking for every chance to play.
The problem of global warming and finite natural resources concerns me and that is the reason I decided to study renewable energy. Although when I started I realize I'm even more interested in climate change reasearch. I'm always interested in new technologies and would be really passionate if I had a chance to take part in their implementations.
Meeting different people with various origin and background I every time get surprised how diverse the world is. It is so fascinating to learn about customs and traditions from countries all over the world and compare it with your own country. I think this kind of experience change me with every new knowledge that I get trough it.
