Also I think my backstory is causing problems.
Girl: "Why are you here?"
Option 1: "I'm an English teacher." I'm suited up in the club and I teach English for $6 an hour.. really?
Option 2: "I'm here to study Russian."
"Why do you want to study Russian?"
"For hobby."
WRONG ANSWER. Girls don't buy it at all that I want to study Russian just to study it. I can see it on their faces. Here they don't have that mentality of learning something to enrich themselves with no obvious gain. I will try out "For work." For the girls here, things need to fit a black and white spectrum. No complicated or ambiguous answers.

If so, you could say you are researching the history of the area for a book detailing the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis in Ukraine. Kiev was the site of a large encirclement for instance.

Do you have any interest in world war II? If so, you could say you are researching the history of the area for a book detailing the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis in Ukraine. Kiev was the site of a large encirclement for instance.
Loads of info out there.
If/when I do get to Ukraine that will be the biggest reason I go. To visit historical war sites and such and see where these epic battles took place.
And tag as many hotboxes as possible of course.
Of course I have no idea how a Ukrainian broad would react to this, but it gives you a good cover and I would be surprised if they would be offended in any way by a guy showing genuine interest in this period of history.

Why not just say "for fun" and briefly explain what you do (i.e. traveling to different countries and writing the books)? Of course with more emphasis on travel and less on books

Right now I'm pretty sure it's backstory weakness along with trying to have an "interesting" Western style conversation. Asking interview style questions on "boring" topics I'd never ask in America is getting a surprisingly good response.
Last night I asked, "What is your favorite type of music?" I don't think I've asked that in a couple years. Well the girl lit up and told me about her favorite bands and what not.
