About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To prove myself that everything is really possible, that's why I started Zest to South America

ABOUT ME

Always come up with unusual and interesting thoughts.
Love to find challanges for myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was in Brazil I attended a lot of CS events, also I was hosted several times by my new friend there and now I will host people wherever and whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was in Sao Paulo for two months and met a lot of new friends on CouchSurfing weekly meetings and other events. Also I met there one guy who became really good friend of mine now.

Interests

IT and Internet.
Travelling.
Physics.

I spend a lot of time on my own projects. Some of them were failure, some were not. Previously it was basically related to the student life, but now we are working on two worldwide projects.
One is IT project that will be announced soon.
Another is social project that was postponed for several months due to priorities to the first one.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book is The Count of Monte Cristo.
My favoutite movie is Pirates of Silicon Valley.
My favourite music is live music of almost any kind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First thing is Dancing with Matt project. I found that people are so different but in the same time so similar and become happy just from simple things. And I decided also to make one simple thing.
Second thing is the understanding that limitations are only in our heads, that's why I left Russia and now planning that amazing projects. I'm looking forward to new discoveries and want to meet with people who have something to tell to others.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Physics, English a little bit, Russian, if you want. Also I can tell you something from management prospective and modern views on the global business trends.
I can teach you how to cook Russian pancakes and some other traditional dishes.

I want to learn how to dance. I want to learn languages. I want to learn how to play guitar and how to cook traditional dishes of your country.
