About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I can show you around NYC even if I'm not able to host you.

ABOUT ME

I like riding my bike, playing multiplayer online games and I'm avid reader, some kind of computer geek.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a guy from France, who initially planned to stay in our town only for 1 night but spent 3 nights instead. I showed him around the city and took him to Russian village and he had a chance to experience "banya". I bet he liked it!

Its funny that I actually never used CS as a guest. It was always me hosting someone. Maybe its because I rarely travel abroad? Don't know. But I like it!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Oldies but goldies. Anything from Elvis Presley and Beatles till approx. RHCP. Maybe Kaiser Chiefs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was amazed by Grunes Gewolbe, treasury collection, in Dresden, Germany. And I caught a glimpse of past in ancient city of Khiva, Uzbekistan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to teach more about history of Russia and its regions, especially Ufa.
I can teach about international economics that's for sure because I'm part-time tutor at local branch of Plekhanov University of Economics.
I would like to learn how to swim. I can swim, but its not enough.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you way round Ufa, take you on bicycle tour throughout city's different parts - historical center, suburbs or cross-country ride through gentle hills across river.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belarus, Czech Republic, Germany, India, Mexico, Poland, Slovakia, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United States, Uzbekistan, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Mexico, Russian Federation, United States
