Hello everyone!

My name is Konstantin, and I am a 20-year-old exchange student from Russia.

I grew up in Siberia and after high school went to study in the capital of the country - Moscow. I finished two years of Cybernetics studies (I'm an engineer), and after this, I won a grant for studying in the US for a year, so that's how I came up here.

Here is my instagram: kostya_bikovec so you can see me and my life style there
:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always dreamed about traveling across America, so I'm here to make my dreams come true. I want to meet open-minded and positive people here for knowledge, experience, and cultural exchange!

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I read Neil Gaiman's "the ocean at the end of the lane" now, and also, I like Stephen King :)
Music: Lana Del Rey, Adele, Kanye West, Weeknd, Eminem
Movies: I love everything, but especially fiction and suspense such as "Green Mile", "Shutter Island", "Interstellar"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had been doing research activities for almost 6 years before I moved to the US. Almost 4 years I spent working on the digital complex "Orientir" to ensure the safety of daily life for blind people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I finished piano and guitar school in Russia, so if you have some of these instruments, I can teach you how to play them. Also, I'd love to sing some songs for you! (I will be happy If you have a guitar. I miss it so much)

And sure, I can teach you Russian, but believe me it's not gonna be easy)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking!!! I'm willing to cook some Russian food for you, and I'm sure that you'll like it! When I came here, I realized that there are many stereotypes about Russia here, so I want to show you real Russia from Moscow to Siberia through my life experience!
