Hello everyone! I'm a sophomore at HSE University in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I also work as an ESL teacher for adults. Glad to be here with you on Couchsurfing!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am here because I am not the fan of organized tours and seeing the places I visit superficially. I believe that to truly appreciate the place and it's culture, there is no other way but to talk and hang out with local people in the communty
Also, the people of Couchsurfing have helped me a lot in past and I want to give back to the community

Música, películas y libros

A big fan of hip-hop and rap, although I primarily listen to old-school stuff (2pac, Ice Cube, N.W.A., Notorioug Big, Eminem)
I also love 70s and 80s music: rock, pop and all other kinds of stuff
My favorites are: Bon Jovi, Toto, Eagles, Queen, Men at Work, Earth Wind & Fire

I love movies that blow me out of the water. Not a big fan of stereotypical films with linear plot.
Inception, Gattaca, Good Will Hunting, American Beauty, Boogie Nights, Matrix, 21, Green Book, Intouchables, Limitless, Shrek,Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption

Algo increíble que he hecho

I have made a cross-country roadtrip on a fried-out 30-year old motorhome from East to West Coast in the USA
Got stuck in Death Valley twice (breaks went on fire + popped both tires), accidentally drove to US Airforce base at night

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can share what I have learned by living on 3 different continents in many countries. I also happen to know what it's like to live close to poverty and later - in a family of multimillionaires.
