I'm an architect which married a biologist. I'm a "family-guy". I like fun happyending stories. "You are not truly russian people! Because you're not drunk or loud!" - said armenian driver. Is it a compliment? )) Of course i'm not a snobbish person but i prefer sittings around the fire to rave party.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the best way to know more about the country to met with it's local. It's deeply at all. I can improve my English.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not done yet, i think...
It's non impressive may be but I like night hikings in Ural mountains.
I've bought an airticket to join to my travelling friends after one beer bottle and what happens - it was a wrong day arrival! And it was non-refundable! What should i do? I've bought another ticket...

We go through the russian forest (you can imagine i hope) smth about 10 km at one end...singing sometimes, because it was "important if you don't want to meet with russian bear" local residents says...at the end of our trip we have seen a bear's paw print on the road...well we keep singing louder immediately!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell about russian architecture (traditional and contemporary), obviously. Architectural and building methods - but i'm not so strong in architectural therminology in English. Home improvement.
Russian cuisine, but please don't expect so much, i'm married ))) And this is a kind of experience which i can share too ))))
I can talk about russian politics but it's not my favourite theme.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can chat about nothing if you don't afraid my broken English.
I can try to draw your portrait or...not to try! ) What else...if you need a local improvement at your home - to hang a picture for example, i can help you.
