Hey, my name is Max. I'm living in Moscow for 17 years, so basically my whole life. Graduated after studying law in Moscow university, but instead of working with these papers decided to join Olympic Torch Relay with Coca Cola (Sochi 2014) and have been traveling throughout Russia for 5 months. Great experience I'm ready to share.

My greatest passion is football, I'm playing, watching and actually working in a football company. Alongside with this I'm really friendly, able to talk about most of the things, have good sense of humor (don't know how to prove that here, but ready to compensate boredom during my stay) and eager to break superstitions about Russians :)

I've also visited many places around the world and was always trying to get the local culture better, one of the most interesting things for me, really.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is one of my biggest interests. Decided to go couch surfing because it's the best way to know local culture and get some good tips about possible experience in the country. Also eager to share my big open Russian soul with anyone wanting to give me shelter :)
