Hi there! I grew up in Almaty, Kazakhstan and moved to Switzerland when I was 13 y. o. At the moment I live in Paris and work as a language tutor.

I love to mingle with open minded people with all kind of backgrounds, to get some new insights, inspirations or just to hear some stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet locals while traveling!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to all kind of music, rock, blues, hip-hop, electronic, classic but Rolling Stones are the best!

Movies: Pulp Fiction is definitely No. 1

Books: I enjoy reading and learning from books like popular science or self-help books and novels. Top three, I would say, are Master & Margarita, White Guard (both from Bulgakov), 1984 (Orwell)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There were many, I’ll tell you when we meet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could give you some lessons in maths and physics, explain you how engines and segways work, give you a crash course in playing guitar and piano or just sing you a song :)
I can teach you some Russian, German or French and try to explain you the clash of opinions between post soviet countries and the western world.

Or we just spend hours on talking about meaning of life, history, artificial intelligence, technology, business, politics, psychology etc.

If you can teach me something, even better!
