I sing and play guitar — I often perform live in a cover band Maple Season (vk.com/mapleseason, facebook.com/mapleseasonband, instagram.com/mapleseason_band) . I am an ex-guitarist/backing vocalist of Friends Will Be Friends. Now I am working on music for my progressive-metal band Artworks (vk.com/artworksband, facebook.com/artworksband, instagram.com/artworksband, twitter.com/artworksband).

I make money playing shows and giving private guitar and math lessons. After playing music, teaching is my favourite job I’ve ever had. I’m a big fan of self-development and productivity as I believe they are the key to personal happiness. I like to run and exercise sometimes (I’d love to do it more often). I’m good at English and I’m now studying French. I used to work as an interpreter and I loved the job. I used to study math and programming in the university but I dropped out in order to become a real musician.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to host some English and French-speaking tourists to show them around my beautiful city and practice languages with them. I love making friends with people around the world. I am also going to travel abroad some time soon, so I’d be happy to find some hosts here.
