I adore of everything about arts. Most of all, films, music and literature. In any ways or tastes.
Also I'm keen on european and japanise culture, history and architecture. I'm trying to absorb everything around me. Also I have a sense of humor but only some people guess about it!
Travelling for me, first of all, is the way of communication. I'm sure, new people are like new keys to the World. That's why i'm looking for new meetings. I'm still young and catch the chance! Unfortunatelly, I'm living in rental room but if it's good for you - you're welcome!

Places I've visited:
- Tour of Scandinavia: Sweden, Norway, Denmark and also Finland- that was amazing educational jorney with my family but... travelling only by bus - it's not enough for me. However, we had several free days so we visited my childhood dream - Legoland! Yeah, that was fantastic!
- Turkey, - the resort in Marmaris in the first trip and then Istanbul.
- Belarus, Minsk - It was business trip but for the whole month! So, I've chance to see the sity and it's beautiful.

Big East Europe tour:
- Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sarajevo, Mostar) - one of the warmest welcome was here.
- Montenegro (Kotor, Žabljak) - perfect nature, very various.
- Serbia (Novi-sad, Belgrad) - we've met nice sunny people here (with couchserfing help, by the way).
- Slovenia - just a couple of hours waiting for transefer but it was really funny to get in there by hitchhiking.
- Hungary, Budapest - one of my favourite cities where I've been.
- Czech Republic - few days in Praga,
- Germany - two times. The first one in Berlin during East Europe tour, second one in small town Cottbus - I've been a participant of the film festival there.

Huge number of places in Russia:
- Altay (several times) - camping and active rest. Mekka of all turists from all corners of Russia.
- Carelia - survival in cold hut for several days ... in january! Also I celebrated my birthday their with my friend!
- Two weeks in the archaeological camp in Crimea next to the Kerch. A lot of new people and useful work for me. I'm sure that trip abound my boundaries of viewing. And also I have the low-budghet tour back to Saint-Peterburg from Feodosia. That's a wounderful story.
- The Krasnoyarsk poles.
- Khakassia, cave trip (4 caves) - I've even get the category as a speleologist.
- A lots of cities: Moscow (I live here for about the year), Saint-Petersburg (5 years I've lived there), Novosibirsk (I've spend my chilhood there), Tomsk, Velikiy Novgorod, Tumen, Krasnoyarsk, Feodosia, Kerch, Rostov-on-Don, Tver, Chita, Petrozavodsk, Kazan, Pskov.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In any travelling I try to make new friends, open their World. So I'm here looking for them!
I had been studying English for several years but I have no much practice so... it's one of reasons why I'm on couchsurfing.
