Hello! My name is Cyril (Or Kirill in Russian), I'm a drummer and a teacher of English from Russia, Moscow, who moved to Warsaw, Poland several years ago :) I'm talkative and extroverted person, so I'm always looking for new acquintances. I teach English privately and in corporate groups, deal mostly with adult people. Play in a band, which means touring from time to time - one of the best things on this planet. In general, I find traveling quite amusing and would like to practice it more often :) I'm a real fan of my own instrument - drums and enjoy every opportunity to play! Have been to several countries already, mostly in Europe, - Belgium, France, Holland, Poland, Belarus, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Egypt, China.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Only locals know the best places in their city! When you go abroad and meet with a local person or stay at his/her place, it means you'll enjoy the best experience of the city!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's very difficult to say. Maybe, I was proud of myself every time I played charity concerts, donated some money to different organizations or about recent decision to donate blood. I hope it will become a routine thing for me in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

You can practice English/Russian/Polish with me, I can tell you a lot about culture and mentality of Poles and Russians:) Also, if you a re a musician, I can exchange experience with you or we can jam, why not?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think, the best option is food or drinks :) Especially, from Poland! In this country people know how to produce really tasty stuff!
