CURRENT MISSION Explore myself through exploring the world ABOUT ME Hey guys! I'm Alex from Pskov, Russia. I spent last 2 years living and teaching in China. Then I backpacked through Asia this fall. It was a great experience but I feel like it's time to move to the west. I can't wait to explore more of Europe, its culture, its history, its cuisine. I really enjoy meeting new people and visiting new places!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to explore the real side of the world from local's perspective. To learn from people and about people. To share my own experience and make new memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of British TV shows, I love rock music, but depending on my mood I can listen to pretty much anything. My favorite author's Jean-Christophe Grangé.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote a book. But it's not that big of a deal, it's not even published. I'm just proud of myself for doing that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share a piece of my culture and a big loaf of my personality with people who would be kind enough to host me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Each of us here have our own stories to tell. I'd be happy to share mine.
