I am a bit of jack-of-all-trades (and master of none), know lots of more or less interesting or useless things. Really enjoy a good movie, good book or a good time with a small company. Sometimes I even recall I have a camera and take pictures...

Currently employed as outside broadcast cameraman (and I love it!) and have not-so-easily-predictable work schedule with frequent work trips, so usually can only confirm hosting request no more than week in advance. Though feel free to contact me earlier to get in touch. On the other hand, last minute requests are totally fine.

Also, "I am naturally curious" and really like to have atleast some conversation with my guests. Thus if you only look for sleepover and alike - try to give me a really good reason please.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I actually enjoy meeting new people, finding common interests (or different) and discuss various stuff from books and movies to recent hot news and stuff.

Interests

• photography
• music
• cycling
• badminton
• sci-fi
• walking around
• fantasy books

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes down to music it's Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler first of all. Other than that I randomly listen to very different kind of stuff. Including but not limited to Blackmore's Night, Joe Satriani, Lindsey Stirling and alike.

On a book worm front I really enjoy decent sci-fi like Clifford Simak or Robert Sheckley, not-so-serious fantasy (hello mr.Pratchett and Robert Asprin) and lots of various books and genres. Don't like "russian classics" much though - just don't get the whole hype about it tbh.

Movies... fun-oriented most of the time. "Suits" series recently, for lolz and Donna. Also into not-so-hollywood-blockbuster movies in English just for the sake of language.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Difficult to say as I really enjoy the moments. Probably it's the filming through the open door on flying plane back in a days I was a student. Also, every big sports event we work at is quite a thrill.

Teach, Learn, Share

If in Moscow - city from my personal point of view. I don't really into official history details but can tell thing or two from my own experience instead. Not that I don't know history (and city-myths) at all though. Another thing is collection of various jams in my fridge :)

In general: I know lots of various stuff I don't mind to share, photography is my semi-expertise as well and obviously russian language I am good at )))))

Cycling also an option if weather is good. Moscow can be a bit difficult with that due to its natural size and weird bike lane development but nonetheless. I even have an extra bike! It's big and somewhat old, but still in good shape

Oh, and badminton in summer season for those who like it.
