I'm a poet and a theatrical historian studying in Moscow.
As a Jew, I'm interested in Jewish culture and can tell a lot about it, from food traditions to music traditions. As for music, I study it professionally for last ten years of my life, so I can call myself "partly a musician".
I am friendly, caring, open-minded and calm. I'm something between extravert and introvert, so I love both listening and talking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in vivid stories and vivid faces: the diversity of the world is inspiring.
I think, that for making trip something remarkable it's important to have connections not only with sights and buildings, but also with locals, who have their own special relationships with places of hometown.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talking, if you enjoy talks and discussions; silence, if you are an introvert; cooking (from porridges and pasta to brownies and traditional Russian pancakes); singing and playing guitar, if you love music; showing you some freestyle-rap exercises; reading you aloud poems in Russian and Polish (is there anybody on Earth who needs it?); discussing Sherlock BBC without spoilering; telling you stories about life in Russia/life in fantastic and insane theatre community/condition of modern Russian theatre/cinema/music/so on.
