A software developer who one day was tired of boring life. I like to travel and meet new people with unusual views on life.
Sometimes I can be a bit cynical, but I'm always sociable, very hospitable and always kind to those who are kind to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to see the world and how people live in other countries. I believe that you can really understand the culture only with the help of local residents.
And of course I want to make friends around the world :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew in a hot air balloon in August 2017!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some usefulness for bike trips and the basic Russian language. I also can tell you about what you can do and what you can not do when traveling in Russia :)
If you are an IT specialist or just interested, I can share my experience in developing.

If you are planning a trip to Moscow, I can meet you there in my car. You can stay in my apartment in Dubna, this is a beautiful green city on the Volga River 120 km from Moscow. You will certainly like it, it is a science city where several discoveries were made.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of good stories,
Postcards,
Talk until dawn on any topic, if you want,
Russian beer, brewed in the city where I live :),
Any souvenirs,
I can also take you to a fellow traveler, if I am traveling by car :)
