ABOUT ME
About myself: I'm 23 years old, just finished the university where I studied English and Literature. That was a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE (I'm joking). At least after it I can support some intellectual talks and treat everything happening around me ironically. Now I have like a gap year. I'm working part-time, studying some new skills and travelling, of course.
Currently I'm a teacher of English in a college. College in Russia is not the same as in the USA, for example. Some of the children there ere quite complicated.) If you want to learn something more about my job, you can ask me personally, I have a lot of funny stories about it.
Indeed, my current job is impossible without joking and positive thinking, so I think I'm quite good at it. Some people admit that I really have a sense of humour. And I'm really grateful to them for thinking so.
I'm from Nizhnuy Novgorod. It's a very beautiful city on the shores of the Volga and the Oka. My city has a very rich history and amazing architecture. For example, we have an ancient kremlin established in 1221 and a lot of developments which was created in the epoch of Stalin. They really can impress. If you're in Nizhniy Novgorod, you're welcome to the excursion.

PHILOSOPHY

no man is an island, entire of itself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a wonderful couchsurfing experience being a guest and when I get a private accomodation apart from my parents I will be happy to be a host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

ALWAYS EXCITING

In winter my friend and I went to Moskow on some occasion and stayed at Yury's place who turned to be a really-really great host. He was intertaining us for the whole night playing his five guitars and the instruments the names of which I can't even pronounce) It was really cool.

Interests

music, literature (hemingway,steinbeck, yerofeev, dovlatov), movies
I like extreme sports, ask me if you're going to jump with a rope or bungee, I can make you a company. Skydiving is also acceptable.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not a real fan of TV-series, but really appreciate the stuff with a good script like game of thrones, true detective,breaking bad...ect.
Speaking about movies, i like good ones (as everybody) Forrest Gump,I think, is a good one. My favorite. Cohen brothers are great direstors, love their personages and the stories they produce.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a teacher of English language and Literature. You're welcome. I really enjoy children. If you have nobody to stay with them for an hour or for a day, ask me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you ask me I can bring you some authentic Russian stuff like soviet vintage camera (I have 3, at least), old cups, stamps, pictures and everything you always wanted but was afraid to ask.
My dear hosts, if I have something I will share it with you. My stuff, my clothes, my food, my thoughts, my dreams, my beer... Just ask in advance, I think that only together we can reach the compromise.)
