I teach English and computer programming. (I'm English, not Belarusian...) I like meeting new people from around the world and learning about new countries and cultures It'd be cool to walk around, go for a coffee, beer, etc, have a chat about anything from football to philosophy I speak French and basic Russian. Do not offer a room or suggesting hanging out if your intentions are romantic, you have a weird fetish, etc. This behaviour ruins the enjoyment of meeting new people I'd like to exchange whatever I can, helping you with English, computer programming, exchanging travel stories
