About Me

Easygoing lad naturally from Moscow living in heart of Portugal, traveling, running, trying local cuisine and meeting new people! Hitch-hiking, backpacking, wild-camping and other synonyms of exploring the world at the age of 20s.

If your dreams are not crazy or impossible, those are not your dreams, these are plans!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll have all my adult life to live in hotels and now I have an opportunity to MEET and KNOW the WORLD, feel it and meet REAL people that will help all us to make a world BETTER place!) I love exploring other cultures, sharing my values and learning from people on my life path.

My favorite movies are Hotel Rwanda, Moneyball and The Big Bang Theory, Chernobyl and Sex Education, from recent things I really liked The Triangle of Sadness and of course, Emily in Paris!!! 😂😂😂
I am not the biggest fan of the series but sometimes I watch trendy things on Netflix...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've missed my last bus home on Azores and had to go for 15 km to come back to civilization, was trapped by Dutch police for hitchhiking, spent a night in street in Budapest at the New Year Eve, been in -35 and +50, been to the Moon (okay, not moon, Lanzarote island in Spain), worked in Kebab-takeaway on Maiorca, been on the CNN on-air, did Camino de Santiago from Braga (205+ km), did off-grid hike for 5 days on Madeira island, finished half-marathon in 1:36 hours and 10k in 43 minutes, had two days off from university and hitchhiked to a remote village called Agilde near Celorico do Basto, and passed there a local festival of Nossa Senhora da Rosa with locals, having drinks with local mayor and spent night sleeping on the table of the local tavern, came to Portugal in 2021 and finished the bachelor degree in 2 years (yes, I'm incredibly proud of this, thanks God and my parents that helped and supported me to get through all the challenges) and this list is too be continued...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new languages and knowing more about different cultures, also I'd be happy to share with you 101 funny story about traveling and life, about my motherland Russia and about my second motherland Portugal. Cycling and running enthusiast! I also have experience in painting so if you need to paint your flat/garage/whatever, I'd be happy to help, teach you how to do it and we can do it together (4 hands is better than 2), just warn me in advance so I can plan my trip in a better manner!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to help you with your household and your pet, help to cook some dishes from your country's cuisine or organise a dinner of traditional russian cuisine (dessert Syrniki is my favourite one, it's our Slavic cheesecake).
I'm open-minded and I'm happy to hang out and not to hang out!!! Jokes and great atmosphere 100%
