If you want me to host you in Spb, here are my contact details - +79967910086 whatsapp/telegram

I am an open-minded, tolerant and versatile person, though an introverted type :) I enjoy meeting new people, getting acquainted with new cultures. I am not into politics, so I prefer to avoid this topic.

Among my hobbies and interests are foreign languages, hiking (including extreme one), downhill skiing, books, travelling, music (folk, metal, ambient, classic), cycling.

You are welcome to contact me in English, German or Russian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's said to be one of the best ways of finding friends all over the world and getting a valuable experience :)
Couchsurfing REALLY reveals that there are a lot of good people on this planet who are ready to help each other! Let's hang out together, show around the city and host each other without taking money for that :)

2024: After so many years, I am glad to announce that thanks to CS, I have found some friends and acquaintances all over the world whom I am still in contact with. I am happy to be a part of this community!

Interests

I devote much time to my job but still may spend some weeks or even months for travelling. I enjoy healthy lifestyle but still have a sweet tooth :D
I enjoy hiking and have climbed a couple of volcanoes on Kamchatka.
I try to maintain my high level of proficiency in English and German (though it has become more and more complicated if you still live in Russia) and started learning Japanese.
