About Me

I am an open minded man. I am a handyman too. I live in Krasnoye Selo Saint Petersburg Russia. It is approximately 1.5 hours from the city center by public transport. I have my wife and three children (24, 22 and 10 years old). Two cats .
I am amazed by CS's who manage to write a lot of words about how good and interesting people they are and who cannot write at least a couple of words about why they cannot accept other CS's.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to give the opportunity to my son Maxim to communicate with native speakers of English. It so happened that living in Russia, my son began to speak English instead of Russian. This is a big problem for us. No one in our family knows English in such a way as to teach someone. The main source of English for Maxim became YouTube. He recently began to communicate in online games. But I think that live communication is much better than via the Internet.
I also want to meet people to learn a different way of life. I think that meeting people unlike you broadens your horizons. Therefore, couchsurfers who wish to meet their soul mate are advised to look in the mirror more often.
