Hi! I live in Irkutsk and I like it. I’m a guide. I show my city and the lake Baikal for tourists (only Russian now).
I like speleology, I find it interesting because there is calm and silence all the time in caves, and you can see original nature without any human traces.
Sometimes I go hiking into mountains with friends of mine.
I learn Buryad language. I think we must know culture and a daily life of local residents. I can cook traditional buryad tea and I know the names of all fingers and toes in Buryad :)
Also I learn English at language school. I don’t know it well and I look for person, who can train my English.
I can show you Irkutsk and some interesting places of lake Baikal.
See you soon!
P.S. Like snailmailing. Looking for new penpals all over the world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think, it is the great place to meet new friends.
I can’t invite you to my home, unfortunately, but i can show you our city and some interesting places of lake Baikal. If you don’t know, where to go or what to see in Irkutsk, I’ll help you. Just email me.
Excuse my English, it’s so poor.
