About Me

Open minded and easy-going person and always open to new experiences.
I was born and raised in an amazing city of Moscow. Was lucky to try living in Spain and a while ago I moved to the Czech Republic.
For the most recent years of my life I`ve been travelling a bit but still want something huge like a trip around the world, and for now due to work and studies I only can efford a few weeks trip to different parts of our beautiful planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to travel like a typical tourist when I was younger, with my family but it was not enough for me - I felt like I needed more cultural interaction. Now I`m pretty sure I`m in a right place.

Interests

Reading, snowboarding, learning to play ukulele (please, someone, teach me - YouTube tutorials are not enough), languages, history, people and lots of things ..
So feel free to share with me your interests and tell some interesting fact since it`s always a pleasure to see a person who is excited about what he does.

Music, Movies, and Books

Among the excellent ones which I`ve been lucky to read, my favorites are Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (read all of his works I guess) and One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Portugal hitchhiked a fisher boat, first I was really scared but then I realized that the fishermen were ones of the kindest people, a bit creepy but extremely kind. Still thinking of them with a smile on my face =)

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be grateful if you help me with my English or Spanish or Czech or even Russian and correct my mistakes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In addition to the interesting conversation it would be a pleasure for me to show how to cook some traditional Russian or Czech dishes. I know quite a lot about my culture and ready to answer any (almost) of your questions and break the stereotypes about my country.
