My first occupation was a teacher of preschool music education. I worked in a kindergarten with small children. We sang children's songs and danced. I was a volunteering orzanizer of a children's orchestra. I have created my own program for teaching children to read, named "Read and sing." My mother was a teacher of geography. And from the early age she took me camping on her native land.
I have been working in tourism for last 20 years. Our company is organizing tours in Russia and abroad, as well as motor ship tours of Russian rivers. Particular emphasis is on tours in Kazan. This is the city, which will host the World Cup in 2018, it is developing and improving rapidly. Development of htis city is also focused on exciting excursions. Tours are conducted in different languages. I would like to convey to the world, how hospitable and kind people in Tatarstan. Also beautiful folk music and rich national culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2016 with the help of Couchsurfing, I visited New York. I was surrounded by extraordinary people. I saw how genuinely and sincerely they want to help me, a stranger. They have seen their human mission in doing this. I thought that this characterizes only me, because I'm happy to meet anyone and show the rich world of Kazan. I spoke with real live people, looking them in their eyes, I felt their lives.
Previously, without Couchsurfing, I was deprived of this opportunity, because the world was shown to me at a distance. (Through the window of the bus, hotel)
I like Couchsurfing principle. Share with other people and get a great joy from this.
