Hello, friends! Paint on your walls ? And I'm open to suggestions.
Description
I am open, balanced, loving life and respect the boundaries of other people. I practice meditation, I love sports, and I am also passionate about the philosophy of the east. I'm cooking. I like to learn new things. I am interested in psychology, art, science, the theme of happiness and the development of human potential. I come from a small northern Russian city (Magadan), which is located on the seashore and surrounded by wildlife. I love nature, but also cities. I travel a lot. Visited about 30 countries. I hosted a lot of travelers at home through the couchsurf site. I arranged tours for my guests around my city and nature, took them to the Russian sauna with my friends, treated them to Russian cuisine and told about our traditions. And I also lived a lot through the couchsurf site in other countries. I have a lot of experience with this.

P.S.: I am a man of peace and that is why I left Russia when the war began. Now I live in the USA and I like that people respect each other here. And I respect people.

I can also help in the house, because I lived in a private house for a while, and I can do the cleaning, washing, sawing wood and heating the stove.

Max housesat for us and watched our two little dogs who are difficult with strangers. He was patient and kind with them, and took care of them for a month. Max is easy going and flexible, putting up with construction and a lack of a kitchen for part of his stay, using the grill outside to cook. Thanks for putting up with that, Max!

I stayed at Jennifer and Diego's house for about one month. It was a good experience. At first I helped them with a little work in the garden, then I helped with the restoration and painting of the chairs, and when they flew away on vacation I was with their two dogs and took care of them and the apartment and garden. Jennifer and Diego created… read more

Maxim was with us just 3 weeks but he sure packed in a lot! At first, he did some heavy garden work, breaking up a hard-packed lawn area for new planting with a new, drought-tolerant turf variety. Then he planned and color-sketched a beautiful mural for our front yard cinder block fence, which is visible from the street. We feed wild birds and our… read more

Carol and Bud have been kind to me. We had dinner together, and we also had interesting conversations in the evenings. we cooked delicious dinners in… read more

We are really glad that Max decided to come to our house. He stayed with us for almost 2 months, which was a first for us. It worked out fine. Max is both serious in his dedication to healthy eating, fitness, his Buddhist practice and learning whatever he's interested in, but also playful and animated. Max loved our dogs and they loved going out… read more

I had a bed… read more
