Globalist & rationalist

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe in globalization and in that the world will eventually have to become "flat" as proposed by Thomas Friedman in his provocative book of the same name. International borders have to be weakened and nation-states should continue to become increasingly obsolete.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I found first courage and then a feasible way to move to China to get my master's degree on a state-funded basis (my best decision so far)

Teach, Learn, Share

• I could teach you the basics of Russian and Chinese languages
• I could share with you my insight on how to get education in China entirely for free (with only a considerable amount of paperwork done)
• You could learn more about life in Russia and in China
• I could pump up your Macbook or any other Macintosh computer as I'm a hardcore fan of macOS (you could learn some really neat and useful tips and tricks from me)
• We could hold really fruitful discussions about international relations, politics and culture

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've just described it in another field right above, but I'll add more here as well. I can:
• Share my experience of living in Asia and making the most out of my life there
• Help you out with any tech-related questions, especially when it comes to Apple products (think of me as your own personal Apple Genius)
• Introduce you to contemporary Russian and Chinese languages, culture and news
