I fell in love with Latin America back in 2016, when I was working as an English teacher in one of the schools in Bogota, Colombia. I spent half a year there getting to know the incredible people, nature, cuisine, culture. And I felt that it was just a glimpse of what Latin America actually is.

So, in the middle of January 2017 I went on to explore the SA starting, once again, in Colombia. Yet, I covered Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia – now it's Chile time!

Im quite an openminded Russian. Yeah, I do not hate gays neither I dream of a nuclear apocalypse wasting the USA. However, I do like to talk about politics and history, Im a profound speaker in these matters. Also I adore good literature and poetry, can spend hours talking about movies and videogames. As a Russian I bet I can outdrink you if we'll have a chance!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from NYC to LA on my own at the age of 20
Traveling through Far West to Far East of Russia on a car, covering 14,000 kilometers and 7 time zones.
Being a teacher in a public school of Bogota, Colombia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basics of Russian and Arabic. Only basics – because you'll need years to master your active vocabulary over 'Privet' and "Salam aleykum".
But truly, that's just enough knowledge to impress chicks (or guys).

Also, I can try to cook some traditional russian dishes, but, you know, there IS gonna be a vodka on the table.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you ever going to visit Russia (which is a bit challenging) I promise to bail you out from the KGB once. Once.
