Hello! I'm a friendly and considerate man who loves to enjoy life and make real connections with others. I feel fortunate! I taught music for many years, founded a school for the arts, and now am focusing on becoming a better jazz musician. I sing at lots of venues, mostly in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I promise to be a considerate guest. Thanks a lot!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I like to travel. And it seems so much better when you visit a place and get to see it through the eyes of a local person. I like meeting new people, families, children, the whole gamut. Oh, I'm also here on Couchsurfing because it makes travel more affordable )).
