About Me

Me: I'm kind, polite, positive, and calm. Assume also smart a little, I tend to brain development. Negative attitude to both smoking and drinking

Spouse: kind, generous, attractive and cheerful. It's pity, her English isn't good enough, but she is learning. Negative attitude to smoking but moderate to drinking

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First reasons which common on Courchsurfing are exploration, getting connections, friendship and great memories by traveling across the world.
It's obvious.

Second is improving my English and knowledge about different cultures.

Third one may seem strange, but it's also obvious. It's getting old and loss of opportunities. Actually we are going to move to Canada or USA in some years. We thought only after changing country where we live we will visit other ones. Recently I realised that it may happen not soon, maybe in five years, and first year in new country will take our efforts for adaptation and getting accomodation, job and so on. I asked myself: "What are we waiting for? " Life is short and death is often unpredictable. Who knows how many years remain in everyone's life? There are so many magnificent places in the world worth to see. There are so many kind and great people supposed to see each other, give smiles and share own life's stories and experience.

Honestly, there is one more reason, what I can tell you for sure it's obvious too :) We have two kids. I have job whereas my spouse is housewife. Salaries in my country (especially in provinces where we live) are not sufficient to travel comfortably abroad even without kids. We are not poor, but we prefer to spend money carefully, also because of plans of immigration.

P.S. Certainly we are going to travel without kids. We want to have rest and not be such a big burden to hosts :) Thanks to creators of CS for such good platform!
Sure, we aren't freeloaders! Read "share with hosts" section what we offer in our turn. "One good turn deserves another" :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Harry Potter, Hobbit. Also have read lots of my native literature during childhood. Currently I prefer to read news or scientific articles.

Music: different genres. Moustly pop music, fresh hits.

Movies: Adore motivative or great famous movies. For instance: Star Wars, The Bucket List, Lord of the Rings, Intouchables, Interstellar, Gladiator, Room, Rain Man, Revenant, The Pursuit of Happiness and so on and so on...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It`s really difficult question. I could say: "found true love", "became father of two lovely boys" or something else. There a lot of great things which are done by everyone. We do many useful things and must do more and more to have chance to get equal number to useless and harmful ones.

Actually I simply did nothing curious or unusual in my life and try to justify myself in this paragraph :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: whatever is possible and useful. I'm interested in computer science mostly

Share: see "What I can share with Hosts"

Teach: making video or to write long texts :)))

What I Can Share with Hosts

#1 I can make video maybe about host's life, some advertisement or something else.
#2 My wife makes delicious dishes or cakes. We are ready to buy some food, cook, clean in kitchen and keep order in bedroom.
#3 We'll bring a gift from Russia. It's up to you or we choose ourselves. You can order something special, if we can afford it, you will get it.
