Hello World! 😊😊😊I'm Alex and I'm from Moscow, Russia))
A few words about the place where I was born and raised: 🏙️🏙️☃️☃️🏙️🌃🕛🕗
Moscow is a vibrant, oftentimes with insane life rhythm, city that has its charm even at rush hour. Incredibly enormous on the face of it, Moscow is easy to get across within a couple of hours. And yes, you'll get a lot of kick out of it while heading along its streets since sightseeings are everywhere you go. Moscow, city that never sleeps, is , sometimes, submerged at a sea of people coming in and out every single day for this is the best place for making a career. However, there is a big contrast as soon as you're beyond the city: mellow fields turning into thickets , small villages , the herd scaterred all over the surface, so unlike Moscow. To cut a long story short, although I've been living here since the moment I was born, I can assure you that the way I admire the city is still a marvel for me. But why so? It's no suprise cause you can literally fall in love with this city. Well. I guess I'm done with this advertising part ahaa.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT ME😊😊😊🎤🎤🎤👨‍🏫🎸 and if to put it in words...
1) I'm a singer( Jazz, blues, R&B, soul, a bit of pop and country) Oh yeah... I have some recordings😋
2) Guitar player( solo playing, sometimes composing something, usually jazz. In love with classical stuff though I could play pretty much anything.
3) English teacher at a university here in Moscow( oh I just get a lotta kick outta that:)
4) Actor( Just about to get a job connected with it so it's already more than a hobby)
5) Linguist( I'm also a master student and I'm doing some research in the domaine of linguistics)

I'm in love with French, Italian and Spanish! No wonder I am cause everyone from the university is just crazy about languages aha) I'm not that fluent in Italian and Spanish but still I can keep the conversation going:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have NOT tasted any vodka ahaha! It's absolutely true.🤷‍♂️

Talked with Charles Aznavour, Pierre Richard , Julio Iglesias, Engelbert Humperdinck, Ornella Muti( The thing is we have a night show here in Moscow where you can easily get just by sending a request and there you can chance to meet some incredible people that you have never probably even thought of meeting before... And I happen to live just 30 min from the studio! So, maybe another entertainment for my guests? ))

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, anybody who's learning Russian, I'd be always willing to give them a helping hand) The same is for English though I'm still better at Russian cause it's my native language)

What I Can Share with Hosts

So, we have a lovely flat here not so far from the city centre though it's rather old)) ( see the home section)
Conversations, laughs, songs, music and many many other different things! Though being rather busy, I always try to find the time to show around, as much as possible cause I know that it's impossible to see all the city even within a month ahaha so the guest should really discover the best places!
