Hi! I'm Andrei, an economics student from Moscow. This year I'll be studying at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). I'm passionate about exploring new cultures, learning from others, and sharing interesting conversations. I love sports and research, especially how they intersect. When I'm not studying, you can find me reading, playing football, or enjoying a good movie. I'm an easygoing person who values making genuine connections and experiencing the world from different perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I want to experience the world like a local, not a tourist. I'm eager to meet new people, learn from their experiences, and share stories from my travels and research. Staying with locals allows me to understand different cultures better and make lasting friendships. It's all about the connections for me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done is winning a gold medal at the International Economics Olympiad. It was an incredible experience that not only challenged me intellectually but also allowed me to meet talented people from around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a strong background in economics and love sharing my knowledge, especially in areas like political and behavioral economics. I'm also quite skilled in programming and data analysis. I enjoy discussing these topics and learning from others' perspectives. Additionally, I can offer insights into Russian culture and share some interesting stories from my academic and personal experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some traditional Russian recipes and cook a meal or two! I'm also happy to help with any technical or data-related issues if you need it. Most importantly, I offer good company and interesting conversations about economics, sports, and travel experiences.
