Outdoor activities, jogging, swimming, cycling, exploring new cities, discovering local dishes. Lately I am into start-up and self-employment ideas. I enjoy reading, discussing and sharing ideas related to this area.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you around where I live, can advise/(maybe) show some spots with fantastic views of Istanbul/Moscow, can recommend nice places that serve traditional taste-guaranteed dishes if that sounds interesting to you :) I am good at teaching beginner to mid level Russian. Not a teacher myself, but I am good at teaching.

I'd like to listen more on self-employment ideas and experiences if you have any.
