"Scratch a Russian and you'll find a Tatar"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm eager to see and to get acquainted with all Buddhist, Slavic and Latin American countries of the world and want to help everyone who is curious to know more about Russia from the inside (believe me, a huge country like Russia is not only about Moscow and St.Petersburg).

Interests

Languages (English, Spanish, Polish, Tatar etc.).
Culture, history and traditions of a certain number of nationalities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe even two:
1) I've climbed the highest mountains in the world - the Himalayas
2) I've seen Bodh Gaya in India - the most sacred place for Buddhists

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn some more Polish or any other Slavic languages, so Slavic brothers are welcome as well as the others.
I can teach everyone some English - this is what I do every day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some English,
Some knowledge of Buddhism,
All the best things from Russia that I can find here or in some other places of my country. It depends, just ask me beforehands!
