About Me

Hello everybody!
My name is Alex, I'm 29 years old.
I live near the Moscow center and I'm passionate about the couchsurfing concept. Really, I think the idea is brilliant and it's a great opportunity to know new people from all over the world. That's why you are welcome here in my little but cozy flat.

Interests

Conversations, different countries, history, architecture, customs of different nations, walks in Moscow streets with my guests, sport (road cycling, running, swimming), funny philology, biology...

Music, Movies, and Books

"My tastes are very singular. You wouldn't understand." ...reading the simple list.
But we can discuss all that stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One month in Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia with my bicycle as the only companion. Dream comes true.
The actual dream is to cross Americas from Alaska to Ushuaia by bicycle. (An another dreamer wanted!)

Teach, Learn, Share

- Russian alphabet. Why are you so scared of it? It's simpler than it looks.
- The secret places in Moscow. Sometimes I found them walking down the streets with you, and that's the most amazing.
- Russian Railways' tickets purchase assistance. Because you are scared of Russian alphabet )) OK. Sometimes I'm fighting with Russian Railways' website myself.
- Pelmeni, kvass, smetana, sgushenka, borsh, tvorog, mors, kompot, seld-pod-shuboy and other russian dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can host you :)
Apparently I'm sure there are places in Russia that underestimated by foreign travelers. Google something about Teriberka, Yakutia and Yenisei. (While requesting me to host you, use the password "Yenisei" in the top of the letter to show you've read what I'm damn writing here) :)

I hope one day I will host a guy studying Russian language to test my competence as the teacher of "Russian as a foreign language". It should be fun to you and me.
