Aside from being a workaholic tech-head who burns up every year and then changes employers, I like to meet different people, expand my horizons and do some things that are relatively unusual for my persona --
two month of a hitchhiking trip through Europe in summer 2019 is a good example)

For the moment I'm somewhat into sci-fi, fantasy, tv shows/movies/anime and video games, even though I was almost addicted to all this stuff in the past. However, I'm still interested in these topics and will gladly support the discussion)

Sometimes I do sports like swimming, cycling, gym or even an Irish dance course, but that always ends up abandoned in the long term.

In some recent time I was struck with philosophy, psychology, deconstruction of religious and archetypal models and how all of that has a relation to me. My insane ramble about the structure of existence is my go-to move. It may be somewhat repelling, but I'm actually having fun during those, so let the fool to continue in his folly until he becomes wise. Or a total shut-in idiot without any friends)

Just don't encourage me to drink more than 2 pints, I'm not as booze-resistant as a stereotypical Russian)

Jack of all trades, master on none.

I also like to cook and do occasional fatty breakfasts for other people)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've decided to go on my first all-by-myself trip to Europe in July-August 2019, packing all the necessities in a 32 liter Deuter backpack.
Never in my life have I done anything like that, so we'll see how that idea plays out)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Turned my hobby into a paid practice, never thought I'd rediscover my childhood love for electronics.
I also spent about 2 years working with high-voltage (1 to 50kV) power sources without any previous qualification and didn't die. So I guess that counts =)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty good in practical things, like plumbing, electrical routing, fixing and building things -- so I can show how something can be done or provide some help.

I learn through listening to the person I'm with at the moment without an expectation what comes next, pretty open to anything) And I'd like to practice my English speech, that is quite difficult even in Moscow.

If for some reason beyond my understanding you've decided to learn Russian, I can help you practice. However, I'm not an expert in it's grammar rules and such things.
