FREE* MOSCOW GUIDES
Moved to http://www.cheap-moscow.com/free_accommodation.htm#guides
Offers of free accommodation in exchange for English are also there.
The stuff below is quite outdated but scroll down if for whatever reason if you are interested in the evolution/degeneration of my little outfit.
Here is the situation. My English and interview preparation clients need conversation practice but no money to pay for it. Foreign travellers to Russia want someone to show them around but are not thrilled at the prospect of forking over $20-30/hour for my services, and many can't even afford $10/hour for Olesya. And I am a sucker who doesn't want people to be disappointed. A couple of years ago I started matching my English and interview preparation clients with foreign travellers to Russia. That works very well, the administrative load on me is tolerable, so let's make it official.
In the table below you will see people who are willing to act as your free guides.
