Teach, Learn, Share

If I am at home, I`ll try to show you Moscow as I see it. My city is much more charming and mysterious than it pretends to be - but it`s necessary to find the right angle to notice that.

Share? My wine, my time, my knowlegde. Well, everething: relax, you`re my guest! And also - separate room in case I don`t have flatmates at the moment or a matress if I do, WiFi, shower, washing-machine, and all that.
