I prefer old artsy movies, and most of all - movies from the 70-s.

Teach, Learn, Share

- I can teach some Russian, English and Literature
- Maybe I can help you in some other ways?
- I hope my company could be interesting too
- I can share delirious stuff with you if you are willing

Otherwise, I can talk for hours about different ideas, art, philosophy, social critique etc. But) I can also be quiet and spare your ears from all the delirium that often passes through my mind

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can:

- cook something interesting in case you want me to

- discuss something interesting (for example, thing that I mentioned as my interests)
