Hello! My name is Aleksei, or just Alex. I'm Russian. People consider me an open-minded, reliable and intelligent person, with a good sense of humour and a calm nature.

I like Moscow, because there are many lovely places and spectacular events.

Всем привет. Зовут меня Алексей. Спокойный, адекватный. Буду рад новым знакомствам. Люблю гулять по Москве, посещать интересные мероприятия в свободное время. Всем позитива!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason I signed up to CS is to meet new friends from all over the world. I want to expand my knowledge of different cultures, practices and viewpoints by meeting people from other countries. While it's possible to learn a lot about the world just by reading, it's not the same as actually meeting new exciting people and sharing experiences with them.

I would also love to share my own culture with you and to give you a glimpse of everyday life in Russia. It's important for people to reach out to each other, to share our views and perspectives on world issues, in order to understand each other better.

Interests

I like to go outdoors, to walk along central Moscow's picturesque streets or in the parks. I prefer cafes with quiet music to night clubs. I would love to visit museums, exhibitions, theaters and other performances with you. A hobby of mine is sport dancing (unfortunately, I've given it up, but I'm still very interested in it).

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different types of music - especially Latin, Folk, Reggae, and Blues - but I would hardly say that music is primary interest in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's not 'amazing' but might be interesting for my guests: I've launched Moscow SLOWALK which means free walking non-professional excursions about architecture and history we organize once a month.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be happy to:
- try dishes popular in your country
- learn playing guitar or just listen to, if you can play any musical instrument
- learn painting, if you can paint
- learn whatever you are expert in

I can help you to:
- visit more sightseeing places in Moscow in limited time including some off-the-beaten-path ones
- understand the policy of Russia better
- gain a strong familiarity with some Russian words and expressions
- try some basic movements of such dances like Walts, Tango, Samba, Rumba, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good mood, respect to host's house rules, small souvenirs from Moscow, chats on a wide range of topics, including politics, economics, culture, music and ordinary life.
