I enjoy good conversation, good company, meeting nice people and learning new things about the world. It is always a great pleasure and wonder to find out how much in common people in different countries have.

Also I'm a computer-science-guy. I love coursera.org and stepic.org.

I can't drive, I don't smoke, I don't play cards, I do drink.
I love cool stories and singing.

Sadly, I'm not able to participate as a host right now.
No experience, I'm a complete newbie :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walking the surface of the deepest lake in the world

Teach, Learn, Share

I could probably teach programming basics in Python, Java, Scala or even Pascal. You know, however cool the teacher is, it all requires some time, but I could give it a try.

I could also teach some Russian and show around St. Pete.
