Hey, my name's Nick!

I'm 26 (Am I that old?) and I live in Moscow. Currently I'm doing translations for different companies and work as a CEO assistant in German company (so much for success). Basically I'm a sales person, who is also responsible for administrative things, yada-yada.

Besides actual job I'm working on my very own album (comming out in 2139 or smth), where I'm writing songs, do vocals (which has to be improved so it doesn't make people think of a suicide) and play the guitar. Furthermore, I'm really into dancing and I work hard in order to be worthy of Hausdancer and Techno Diva nicknames I got for my "moves".

What else...I have a dogo, his name is Leo and he is a labrador. And my grandma is a well known painter (someone has to be famous).

Right now I'm all into travelling around the world, exploring different cultures, meeting lots and lots of new people, making tremendous amout of friends and eventually discovering something of my own.

I'm super hospital to people and comfortable to be around, as if you were sitting on the softest cushions you have ever met. I'm all about night life, dancing, drinking, smoking hookah and whatever gets in my head. I enjoy learning more and more about history, philosophy as well as psychology, but the list is endless, for I'm opened to every bit of information you can share) Last, but not least: I FUCKING LOVE ICE-CREAM.

BTW Surfing is life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to hear a story. I want to know, what life feels like for that unknown person from a place beyod my reach. I want new feelings and emotions, I want new people to meet.

I want to build a connection to the world through these people.

And I want to wake up at any given place with sweet yawn "I'm home".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won a Bionicle in a lottery when i was 8 - my best luck up to date)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can deffinatly teach you some basic russian, be your guide in Moscow, give you an example of good quality russian music, movies, etc.

BUT MOST IMPORTNANTLY. If you do find yourself in my company in Moscow, be prepared, cause we're about to go clubbing like crazy - I'll make sure you learn by heart, that this city is the capital of techno music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not even going to mention the variety of subjects we can discuss, different perspectives of this world we will share, cause it's why we are here.

However, if you are a party animal - you have found your long lost brother, who's somehow russian, which means, that from now on getting drunk is just an everyday routine.

But if somehow you are against that kind of lifestyle and prefer fitness, healthy diet and so on - luckely I do sports everyday, I'm always into learning new recepies of food, which is both tasty and improves your health condition. I'm totally cool with cooking!

I would love to hang out with your pet, if you have one, especially if it is a doggo. Who doesn't love doggos?

I'm not messy, the dishes will be clean, there will be a nice touch of Mancera in the air and I promise I'll be back in your place in one piece)

Countries I’ve Visited
