Hello, my name is Artem (pronounced like 'Artyom' with rolling "r" and "yo!" sound). My home town Orel (Oryol same 'yo!'), where i spent my childhood, is a 4-hours train ride from Moscow and, fun fact, 'Orel' translates as eagle. Though I've spent 6 years studying electronics at "finest" universities of Moscow, since 2017 'till 2019 I've worked as a waiter in the casual-dinning restaurant on the Red Square. That was lots of fun, tremendously much more than my colleagues scientists had )
Currently I'm doing European Solidarity Corps volunteer project in Portugal, staying here 'till January 2021.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Most types of music are enjoyable for me. Electronic (techno, deep), Italian lounge from 60-70-s, guitar blues (SRV, Hendrix), old pop music and modern R'n'B with hip hop.
I adore good, old movies. Like both western and soviet pictures. Still trying to stay hip and I follow most modern trends. From TV series it would be Scrubs, Louie CK work and Mighty Boosh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being volunteer in Irish camp for children with illnesses was very cool and important experience for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm all yours if you'd like to cook with me! I've "stole" some recipes from the restaurant!) It would be a pleasure for me to share stories about Russia, Moscow, regions and to listen and to know about yours experiences, city, country, language. Seriously!)
