I'm a last-minute host. So better to send me requests 5-7 days in advance, not more. Please, find a password in my profile and add it to your message. Thanks! CURRENT MISSION: To stay curious and open, to keep learning, to help people when I have a chance to. PHILOSOPHY: My personal philosophy is to search for my personal philosophy. Or "Do whatever you want as long as you do no harm to other people". But it's impossible, isn't it?

Insegna, Impara, Condividi
I'm a ski, snowboard, and yoga instructor in my spare time. My main work is freelance journalism/writing, so I can connect you with many people from different fields/industries. Also, I can teach you how to cook paleo/vegetarian/Soviet/Asian/any other food (I'm not a vegetarian myself). And, of course, the Russian language. But the main thing for me is people and their personalities, experiences and stories. I'm open to any topic for a conversation but I'm fine not talking at all if you (or me) are tired or busy. I have a thirst for knowledge, for gaining new skills and keeping the old ones on a decent level. But primary I'd like to improve my Spanish, to practice yoga, massage, social dances (salsa, bachata, etc), to play basketball, tennis (or any other games), to learn how to cook some of your favorite dishes.
Cosa posso offrire agli host
My home is your home, so feel free to use whatever you see. If you have any requests, don't hesitate to ask! I'm a very flexible, chill and not demanding host. Also, my place is a perfect rest space, where you can have some days off of hardcore sightseeing, hitchhiking or even work. I like to cook for my guests and hosts when I have time
I miei interessi
Dancing, skiing, snowboarding, yoga, windsurfing, swimming, running, cycling, trekking and basically any physical activity. Besides sports I really like listening to the music, singing, eating, trying new things, cooking, reading, playing board games, drinking good wine, rain-watching...and just looking at beautiful things (cats, pandas, people, crumbling buildings, sea, mountains, little flowers e.t.c)
