ABOUT ME

I like to explore cities, I like to know more about culture and history of different places.
I'm not a party-guy at all. I like music, but I don't like when it's so loud that you can not speak to another person. Conversations is what I enjoy the most.

I think people are more important than places. If I'm in Paris I will prefer CS meeting to Louvre, and Versailles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted people from Germany, France, Poland, Switzerland, Belarus, Hungary, Norway, Singapore, Japan, Turkey and Estonia in Kazan and Saint-Petersburg.

I surfed in Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Germany, Hungary and Serbia so far.

I'm lucky - my couchsurfing experiences (both hosting and surfing) were always amazing.

Interests

sports (football), photography, cinema, history, cooking, reading, always learning something.
my newest hobby - collecting old postcards (really old postcards). In any big city, I will visit flea markets and antique shops to find some.
