Hi everyone! I'm Vlad and I am 22 years old student from Moscow. An easy-going, sociable, responsible and funny. I really love volunteering.
I also competed in chess tournaments for about 10 years. My most notable accomplishments from that include 1st place in the regional championship in 2012 and 2014. The highest rating that I've had 2200.
I don't play much chess anymore, though I would like to get back into that someday...
Also I was a teacher of math at evening school for a year.

Volunteering experience in Poland near Warsaw. Our purpose on that project was helping refugees especially children. It was extremely useful experience.

In 2017 I was working all the summer in the USA by program "Work and Travel" having 2 great jobs and having supernice traveling at the end, driving from Las Vegas to San Francisco. So, if you are interested in working in States I would explain everything about it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and searching for new experience. I believe that every human interaction provides you with an exchange of any kind: it can be of experience, knowledge or just a good laugh.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love fantasy, having an amazing ability to completely lose myself in whatever. As for reading I enjoy "Airport", "Crime and Punishment", "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", "1984", "Brave New World", "Animal Farm: A Fairy Story", "The Little Prince", "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
As for movies I love "Sherlock Holmes", "The Illusionist", "The Prestige"
