Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd be happy to find somebody who could provide me with accommodation anywhere in Europe. Me and my wife have recently relocated to Prague and want to see as much as possible. I don't ask much cause I am really used to living anywhere and anyhow. In exchange I could teach you some Russian or just help do some housework. Guess that's the way they do it when using couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess my greatest achievements are all ahead, but by now I have founded an online community where I share my subtitles with translations for movies. I have founded a hard rock band and we do play gig and make records.
I have seen about a dozen countries, but my most exciting journey was accomplished not far from home. It was an amazing rafting experience with my friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach languages. I am also deeply interested in history and geography. So, whenever asked to share my knowledge, I am there to help out

What I Can Share with Hosts

Endless stories about myself and my homeland, Russia. I am a story-teller. And things just keep happening to me. Russian lessons. Technical writing lessons, albeit boring)

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, France, Italy, Monaco, Russian Federation, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Czech Republic, Russian Federation, United States
