My name is Murat. I was born and raised in Moscow. I’m amateur sportsman, but competitive spirit is very highly developed at me! I like different kinds of sports, but badminton is my favorite now! Also I like swimming, skiing, to play volleyball and engage in home fitness. My favorite activity in the summer is: sunbathe, swim and play beach volleyball on a nudist beach.

Previously, I was far away from the sport, I graduated from music school. Later, I resumed singing lessons, and later began to dance, what I dreamed of since childhood.

I appreciate very much beautiful art photos and especially male nude art photography. In my youth I loved to be photographed and wanted earn money as a model. When I travelling Europe, I buy some such beautiful albums.

My greatest interest and motivation to go in for sport is sports figure, sports gambling and participation in different tournaments. I have traveled abroad as much as possible, but finances limit stop me.

Nowadays much of free time I dedicate to volunteer work to Russian LGBT Sport Federation, where I’m the member of a board and active participant. The Federation has been organizing sports sections, conducts tournaments, sports festivals and promotes sport and the ideas of a healthy lifestyle among all the Russian LGBT community.

CouchSurfing for me is an excellent opportunity affords see new countries, to get acquainted with the culture and sights and the best way to make new friends abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing for me it's a good way to afford to really see new countries. It's the best way to find new friends abroad, to feel like the native people live (their traditions, habits, preferences, hobbies, etc.) within you will not see staying in hotels. CouchSurfing allows to save, that allows me to travel more, to communicate and to explore the world. CouchSurfing as well is good and practice and motivation for learning English for me.
