Hi everyone! People call me Andrei. I'm taking an unusual step of being successful couchsurfing member. Now the most important things for me are education and travelling, that gives endless possibilities for self-improvement, but requires profound knowledge in different spheres and all all-round comprehensive development. Being a Belorussian and couchsufing member would be very useful and amazing for me and everybody i meet. I'm sociable, open-minded, easy-going, active person. I'm ready to share my knowledge and experience with my new friends.
