I was born in Azerbaijan but grew up in a tiny settlement in the tundra in the Far East of Russia. I had a chance to live in major cities in Russia, the USA, and Turkey. Currently, I live in Estonia.

An open-minded and friendly person who is always eager to new things and experiences. Quite ambitious when needed, but usually prefer not to set any expectations and go with the flow as it brings more adventures. I love to tell stories, but no less I love to listen to people and about their lives. I always find amazing how unique we are, and everyone has their own world.

Now working as a data analyst at Bolt and doing my best to contribute to better micromobility, better cities for people with more parks and fewer private cars.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here because travelling to a new place is a small fraction of an experience which cannot be full without meeting people that make those places live. Sharing stories, places, food and our time is not only a good way to travel and learn more about cultures but also improve ourselves and become better people.

Couchsurfing is the place that gives us tools and opportunities to become better people, and I definitely want to be part of this community.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I really love a bit of everything. Sometimes you need calm music to rest your ears, but sometimes you just crave for 4 hours of non-stop techno near speakers in a club to get all your energy out.

Movies: Always ready to watch a comedy or some superhero movie! But I really love weird or classic movies that are slow, aesthetic or purely absurd. Some examples: Movies by Michel Gondry, "When Harry met Sally", "Inception", all movies by Wes Anderson, "Catch me if You can".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I grew up in Kamchatka, so I ran into huge bears when picking up berries in the tundra.
I climbed an active volcano.
And I really like my time in Turkey hitchhiking across the country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can instruct you on how to behave during an earthquake!
And we can discuss politics and philosophy.
Also, I can teach you some Russian or Turkish.
