Overview
About Me
I often come to different cities to work in anthropological repositories or excavations. Or just to see the places that interest me.
I always do my best to ensure that my communication with a guest or host is PERFECT)
I like to get up early and then spend a lot of time on my feet. I also play various musical instruments, especially strings)
And I also like to live in the woods sometimes.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Generally:
1) Cultural exchange. I like to communicate and share my experience.
2) English practice.
3) I try to minimize commercial interactions between people and increase sincere gratuitous interactions . I am happy to provide another person with the opportunity to avoid interacting with capital in the form of paid hotels, and I am happy to avoid such interactions myself. You can consider this to be my "political" point of view (generally, I am not into politics, though)
As a host:
1) The desire to help someone in his journey and to reinforce their faith in good people. This is a spiritual value for me.
2) Guests are my motivation to keep the house clean
3) Through guests, I enjoy the spirit of travel even when I stay at home
As a guest:
1) Comfort. Living as a guest is almost always psychologically more comfortable for me than being a customer of a hotel.
2) I just like to be a guest of a truly good host. Sometimes I really can come to some town only because I liked your profile on Couchsurfing!
3) I love adventures!
4) I like to study the living conditions of average people in every country I come to. This is one of the goals of my journey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Once, I washed all the dishes after a meal for an entire monastery!
I caught more than 10 bats on my student biological practice (we let them go, everything is fine with them).
I participated in the biggest peaceful people gathering of history.
And I also graduated from Moscow State University with honours
Teach, Learn, Share
I can make interesting conversations about anthropology
What I Can Share with Hosts
I usually give hosts gifts from my village. But sometimes they can end up during the trip, sorry(
Of course, I can tell you a lot of interesting stories. But if you are a extremely experienced traveler, then I'm afraid I won't surprise you too much) Then we'd better talk about anthropology
I can instead become a host in Moscow - if I am there on suitable dates
