I worked at FIFA 2018 World Cup with Team Iceland and was travelling with them around and accompanying them at all the events. What a once-in-a-lifetime experience it was! I also had been travelling from Rio de Janeiro to Bogota (Colombia) by bus for 5 days in a row - crazy, but definitely interesting experience! One more interesting fact - I was a torchbearer at the Olympic Torch Relay in my hometown one month before the start of Sochi-2014 Olympics. What is more - my wife also was a torchbearer, so we are one of a few Olympic torchbearers in the world, who became a family.

I can teach you Russian, cook famous borscht and discuss the latest sports news! I would like to learn how to cook your favourite national dishes and discuss the pecularities of life in your country from different angles.

Russian culture - it's amazing, really. Endless topic to talk on!

My friends call me a professional volunteer, ha, they are right. Since Sochi has been chosen as an Olympic capital, I took part as a volunteer in many major international sport events. Of course I've been to Olympics as well (twice!) - experience of a life time that brought me unforgettable emotions and many many fellows and friends I still stay in touch with. I like learning foreign languages, fluently speak English, and try to learn German now. Crazy about photography, adore sport, do like running and swimming, regularly take part in running events.
