Calm and easy-going guy from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Intellectual yet fun-loving person.

I enjoy teaching kids and adults who decide to learn Russian language. Well, to say the truth, kids usually forced to do that. So, I’m trying to teach not too boringly 🙂

Another part of my life is psychology. Last 2 years I’ve been studying narrative therapy and now start to consult people, who find themselves in difficult situations.

I’m very curious about minority’s life in different countries. As a part of LGBTQ community I pay attention to questions of discrimination and human rights.

What else... Oh, I love to read and cook!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m not a kind of tourist who want to see everything in 1 day, take a million pictures and go to another city. Meeting with locals, notice cultural differences - that’s what I’m interested in.
