Hi, I am Mikhail. I was raised in New York, I am currently attending medical school in Moscow, Russia, working as a nurse in a neurology ward. I love to travel, but as a student, I am very limited due to expensive air travel and accommodation. I believe couchsurfing is perfect for me! I love to meet new people, enjoy new cultures, and travel all over this wonderful world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I need to travel, I want to travel, and I feel that money should not be something that withholds a person from seeing the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: starting from Bach, Rachmaninov, Grieg, ending in modern hip-hop, rock and pop. Movies: I love a good movie, from drama to fantasy, I enjoy a good horror flick, and I like to watch a love story with my girlfriend. As for books, my main interest currently is short stories, and populistic-science articles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been tutoring English parallel to my studies and job. In 2011 I worked for a year as an English teacher for children. As for learning - if there is something you can teach me, I would be glad to learn it!
