About Me

Для новых пользователей:
пожалуйста, не подставляйте меня под огонь вашей ковровой рассылки. Каучсёрфинг существует для обмена ценностями, а не для бесплатного ночлега. Не принимаю гостей с пустым профилем и шаблонным запросом только бесплатного ночлега.

I am an open-minded person who appresiate communications and adventures. As everybody here, I suppose:)

My profession now is tourism and urbanism, I do researches, excursions, lectures, and design projects about the city for tourists and for citizenz.

I am not vegan, I can drink some vine or beer

I try not to have any restriction that could be uncomfortable for my neighbores:)

I used to host a lot of tourists in my city, in Nizhny Novgorod, then I was hosted by a lot of persons in Europe, but then I can't host people for a year and I loose my rating here. Now I will be dlad to host, please welcome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At 2006-2014 I was hosting a lot, at 2014 I was traveling a lot and was hosted, at 2015 I moved to a small flat in Moscow and unfortunately can't host a lot. Then I moved to Nizhny Novgorod back and can host people in the best flat ever.

I like to show my city. After some years of couchsurfing I become a real guide, now I do the city tours for the tourists.

I like to stay with a local peoples that in the hotel in the another country, because it's important for understanding the culture.

Now I am living in the wonderful place in the bitter center of Nizhny and love to show the surroundings:)
