Just a guy from Russia, who was doing his PhD in Paris and likes to travel around.

As for the moment I have mostly hosting experience (and unfortunately can't host right now), and would like to learn how to be a good guest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess as everyone else, meeting new people. Learning something, sharing something, teaching something.

When I'm hosting, I love walking around with my guests and showing them the city I live in. Or cooking together, or learning how to cook new dishes.

When I'm traveling? Again, walking around, to see as much as I can of a new place, or cycling if possible, to see even more :)
If you would propose me to go to see the sunrise, the answer would be "yes!" :)

Interests

Walking for the whole day or cycling a few hundred kilometers? I'm in! :)
If there is a lake around, I would love spending some time on a canoe or a boat too.

Would you like some pasta with tomatoes, basilic and mozarella? I would love to cook it!
Or if you can show me how to cook your favourite dish, it might become my favourite dish too :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I adored Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, when I was finally able to read it without looking up for translations of the words in French every two minutes.

Besides that, science fiction books and good drama movies are my thing.
