Previously, something quite different was written here. Something good, huh) about me? I am. depressed, ungrateful, often closed and wicked person. fuck it. 5% of the time I am in love with the world and people, but I am not sure)
*all the bio & text below was written while I lived in Siberia* *first ~20 photos are new* UPDATE: sorry if I do not respond, CS is some kind of occasional thing for me. More often I'm just too busy at work and don't have any time, sometimes just not in the mood for meetings, nothing personal. The same with references - I write them occasionally - many of the guest I had I really adored but still haven't written any reference - actually I guess had a great luck with all the international travellers I came across with, I enjoyed being together a lot and they all turned out to be kind of soulmates to me. CURRENT MISSION cultural exchange exploring calm places ABOUT ME I don't like the fuss and enjoy being kind of slow and relaxed - probably that's one of the reasons why I can't live without going outdoors escaping those crowds of evil people (I'm a bit misanthropic sometimes) and all the city fuss even if it's only a one-day trip. Another reason is that Irkutsk's unfortunately too dirty and might be not that hospitable sometimes. I enjoy hiking in a small group and have some favourite places I can't live without. the paths for one-day trips are pretty easy and are good both for waliking and biking and easily fit in a day - it might be a hike to some rocks deep in the forests (Olkhinskoye plateau, Vityaz and Idol rocks and others) on a half way from Irkutsk to southernest point of Baikal or to the Old Baikal railroad which goes along the southern shore (Dark Forest, Old Angasolka, Kultuk). Another magical place I love is Arshan - a small resort town in a foothill of East Sayan mountains - its 230 km from Irkutsk by car through the south of Baikal - in Buryat republic, along Tunka valley - you can stay there forever exploring hundreds of mountain trails and other interesting locations in the area (though we usually go there for a weekend) - it is good any season but when it's not cold (till November) we have an opportunity to stay at a friend's house (which is too cold for winter). PHILOSOPHY - there's too much shit in this world to become a part of it - happiness only real when shared
I realy host everybody on lake Baikal in Baikalsk city. Welcome.
ABOUT ME I've been living in Irkutsk since my birth. I had hosted a lot of Couchsurfers before pandemy, but now I want just meet up. I travel quite often myself in different places. PHILOSOPHY Everybody deserves love. Seriousness is the biggest mistake of mankind

Traveller, faithful and reliable friend
After three years back in Russia, I’m ready to hit the road again. In 2018, I started my second trip around the world and travelled solo through around 25 countries across Europe, the US, Mexico, South America and South Korea. Eventually, after 11 months, I came back to Russia, and since 2019 I’ve been teaching English. After the war started, I left Russia and spent nine months living in Thailand and Sri Lanka, teaching English, living by the ocean and trying to figure out what came next. I had to come back to Russia in 2023, but travelling has never really left my mind. And now I’m getting ready for my next adventure: Australia 🇦🇺 Teaching. The pandemic. War. Moving around. Coming back home. The last six years haven’t been easy, and life has changed a lot. But life goes on. I’m still curious about the world, still excited to meet people, hear their stories and see new places. Wishing all of us a little more peace, both in the world and in our minds.

CURRENT MISSION I teach Russian as a foreign language https://www.tutoroo.co/tutor/russian/dubai/russian-from-a-native-speaker-3 (currently online only) I also make music 🎶 https://band.link/TkcO0 and https://band.link/SK8HC ABOUT ME I'm a classic textbook introvert. I prefer books and outdoors to crowded bars and night clubs. They are not my natural habitat. Though I like to be around people sometimes. If my friends are enthusiastic I can cheerfully support almost any activity. I'm open to any life enriching ideas and experience. My favorite topics for conversations are dreams, magic, happiness and relationships. In people I appreciate honesty, kindness and intelligence. PHILOSOPHY “The planet does not need more ‘successful people’. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds. It needs people to live well in their places. It needs people with moral courage willing to join the struggle to make the world habitable and humane and these qualities have little to do with success as our culture is the set.” -Dalai Lama Trying to be that kind of person)
ABOUT ME I'm an English and Russian teacher. I'm energetic and humorous. I love my husband and I've got a son and a daughter. We like travelling very much. Come and meet with my family!

Hi there! I'm a young guy who just started exploring the world around. Was living all my life in Siberia, Irkutsk. Was studying cybernetics for a while, but realized that I'd better talk to people than spend all my time sitting by PC. I graduated IRNITU in 2015, psychology, but now working as a teacher of English in a local school. I love my job! If you wondered about my hobbies - it's my job! I love communicating with people, sharing all my knowledge and giving all my enegry. I'm very positive, kind and energetic, a big hearted person. Also do some skateboarding, rollerskating, skating, love hiking and adore good music!
