Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn how to teach.
ABOUT ME
Apart from my lawyer profession I'm a traveller. I like new places and new people (sometimes) and I enjoy exploring and discovering new things around me.
I'm interested in solving problems, better governmenting, law (of course), politics, communication, languages, culture itself.
I really love the city I live in and I'd like to share that love with everyone who is interested.
This isn't all about me, but we have to have something to talk about when we meet :)
PHILOSOPHY
«Time won't leave me as I am, but time won't take a boy out of this man» (U2, «City Of Blinding Lights»)
«Be Yourself; everyone else is already taken.» (Oscar Wilde)
«A heart that hurts is a heart that beats» (U2, «Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own»)
«Most of all guard your heart, for this is the source of life» (Proverbs of Solomon)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can and I want to host people coming to our wonderful city. I have a car so I might be able to meet you at the airport/railway station and bring you to the city (I might ask you to pay for gas in this way, but anyway that would be much merciful compared to our taxi fares). I can guide you around the city and tell you everything I know and I like about it.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I travel quite often and it's always good to know that you have friend here and there to host you. So I have been asking them for such a favor through other sites or via common friends. So when people were coming to our city and I have been asked to host them, I most of the times agreed.
So far I mostly host than surf, but I like both :)
Interests
My interests are quite broad: from endless talks with my friends over a cup of coffee to some funny week-end short trips to the region or even abroad (but not too far). I also like photography, but not in editing & photoshopping - only pure art. Or pure fun, that's good too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have met an angel once, and was not the dream, I'm serious.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can give you some valuable survival tips for Russia, I can teach you some Russian if you want.
I'd love to learn what do you think about what you see in Murmansk in Russia in general, I really appreciate these "first hand" reviews.
I can share my cats with you, they won't mind :)
