I live in Dzerzhinsk. I work in Nizhny Novgorod, technical support specialist. I have a daughter and a son. Daughter lives in Nizhny Novgorod. My son lives with me in Dzerzhinsk. We moved to Dzerzhinsk 8 years ago. Before that we lived in a small town in the North of Nizhny Novgorod region called Shakhunya. We moved because of my job. At that time I worked as an accountant at the railway company. 6 years ago, I moved to work for the nuclear industry as an accountant. And 2 years ago I transferred to the position of technical support specialist. Now I like my work. We live in a three-room apartment on the third floor of a three-storey building. I work Monday through Friday 8 hours a day like many Russians. My daughter's name is Tatiana. She works as a Baker. She works in shifts 2 days work 2 days rest. She often comes home on her weekends. In those days, the three of us drinking tea in the evenings and discussing the one that happened recently. I really like these evenings. My son's name is Stepan. He is in the 9th grade. He goes to training on sports tourism and orientation. On Sundays his training takes place in the forest. I go with him sometimes. While going through his training I walk through the woods, photographing nature, cooking tea on the fire. It's a beautiful weekend. I like knitting, baking pies and cookies. We have a cat. His name is Moses. It is very important. He thinks he owns our apartment, and we won't dissuade him.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am 44 years old and I adhere to the rule that all my life I have to learn something. At the moment I want to learn English. I've never been abroad before. But I hope that this will happen and I will be able to communicate with people because English is an international language and it knows a lot of people. I hope to find friends on this site who will help me to learn the language. My son and I are ready to receive guests to communicate in English.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music. But I prefer quiet songs with a guitar. From films I prefer easy comedies, but I can watch melodramas and detectives and militants, if I liked them. I love Soviet cinema very much. From books I prefer classical literature. Especially like the works of Erich Maria Remark, Valentin Pikul, Victor Hugo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I find it difficult to say what I have amazing done in my life. I was born in the Soviet Union, I live in Russia, my whole life was quite calm. Perhaps the most amazing thing that happened in my life is the birth of my children. I devote a lot of free time to my children. We help each other. I help them grow up, and they help me stay young.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My main goal is to find friends on the site to communicate on different everyday topics. But if someone wants to come to visit us we will be very happy. There are no sights in Dzerzhinsk. But from Dzerzhinsk it is possible to get to Nizhny Novgorod for 40-50 minutes. And in Nizhny Novgorod, a lot of interesting places to visit.
