About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Help people to be happy

ABOUT ME

Alex? He is a cheerful guy, who is open to all impressionss around and all things in this world. He is very good and can help always, besides don't forget about his friends. He can do all if he knows for what. Communication is the main value in his life. It doesn't matter who are you, he can always speak to everyone and try to understand a man by him. He is open to new people, exactly foreigners, because he have dreamt since childehood to go to other countries and speak to local people, but a long time it has been only a dream. His city is not very big, that's why he always takes a chance to speak to foreigners and to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

For helping, conversation and discovering. Every person is like a country in itself, you can make a war with somebody or live in peace, but in fact you can't live alone... so you can, but you are getting crazy step by step in such a way.
Just respect others, guys and be patient.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really wanna be participant of couch surfung, but it was really no opportunity before to do it. I was a participant of Joint Civic Education programme and in frame of this programme I hosted some guys at my home, then I visited Azerbaijan and Armenia and other guys hosted me. Hopefully someday I will host somebody due to this website, because travel is one of the best thing that we can take from this life.
After my eurotrip I Believe that everything is possible, just no fear - do it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was last in autumn of 2012 - firstly I have visited Armenia and local people hosted me there, then in Septmeber I hosted guys from Turkey and Azerbaijan. For me it was great experiences because this time I realized what does it mean to be hospitable. If you want to know - come to me or let me to stay at your home for some days.

Interests

The special one is football - playing and watching, all kind of sports also, indimusic (for me it's an another reality when I hear the indi songs), theater (I took a part of extra player, living in Saint-Petersburg you have to be cultural educated as well), cinema and photo (I made movies, but now I am so busy with the everyday's routine that even couldn't find time for watching), foreign languages (a Phd student in field of german philology, learn foreign languages by own ), something new (people, places, emotions), travel (new countries, cities, stunning landscapes, nature and architecture).

Music, Movies, and Books

Any sort of movies, which are based on reality.
Music, which can change you, motivate you to do something. And Indi, of course.
Books need to be interesting for you personal and it doesn't matter what is written inside of them. Last time I am going to read more life stories and biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Such moments are the best in our life, like my friend says in this case "It will be what we can remember later".
The first moment is my comeback from Ukraine to my city, during one week everyday I was walking around the city in afternoon and took the train at night to move to another city.
The second is practical joke as if I'm going to army. My university was the victim of this joke, I was hardly expeled, but this story had a good end.
