About Me

I often come to different cities to work in anthropological repositories or excavations. Or just to see the places that interest me.

I always do my best to ensure that my communication with a guest or host is PERFECT)

I like to get up early and then spend a lot of time on my feet. I also play various musical instruments, especially strings)

And I also like to live in the woods sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Generally:
1) Cultural exchange. I like to communicate and share my experience.
2) English practice.

As a host:
1) The desire to help someone in his journey. This is a spiritual value for me.
2) Guests are my motivation to keep the house clean)

As a guest:
1) Comfort. Living as a guest is almost always psychologically more comfortable for me than being a customer of a hotel.
2) I just like to be a guest of a truly good host. Sometimes I really can come to some town only because I liked your profile on Couchsurfing!
3) I love adventures!
4) I like to study the living conditions of average people in every country I come to. This is one of the goals of my journey.
5) Economy is not my reason. Twice I went to stay with the host despite having already paid for a night at the hotel. But in some developed countries I simply do not have the opportunity to pay for my stay because hostels may not accept cash at all, and my cards work only in Russia. In this case I just have to look for free places - sleeping at the airport, in a tent or Couchsurfing. I hope for your understanding)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I caught more then 10 bats on my student biological practice (we let them go, everything is fine with them).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make interesting conversations about anthropology

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually give hosts gifts from my village. But sometimes they can end up during the trip, sorry(
Of course, I can tell you a lot of interesting stories. But if you are a extremely experienced traveler, then I'm afraid I won't surprise you too much) Then we'd better talk about anthropology
I can instead become a host in Moscow - if I am there on suitable dates
