We met each other in April 2015 in small finish village Lappenranta and then we hit the road two weeks after. Me have made the great trip around scandinavia. After travelling literally around the north we landed back to Moscow June 2015. During our trip we met a lot of strangers and many of them truly helped us.

The nice girl: Asiya is from Russia ,25 years old. She is easygoing, positive, and also a sarcastic person, who isn't afraid to say what she thinks. She likes to try new things and explore world. She loves traveling and meeting new people!

The nice guy : Dima 26 years old musician from Moscow. He speaks fluent English and a bit Duch. He loves to talk about politics, history and a football, but also enjoy a good company for a beer! At the moment, his biggest challenge is to be the most succesful engineer in the whole world, (and it can be quite an interesting adventure!
OUR PHILOSOPHY
1)Don't be a tourist, be an explorer

2) "In the end, you either have excuses or experiences; reasons or results; buts or brilliance. You either have what you wanted or a detailed list of all the rational reasons why not"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We think that is a great way to get to know new people and cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

wE just looove live music, don't really care the genre but as long as it makes US feel good and makes us dance and sing along. Some of my favourite bands: Mumford & Sons, Florence + The Machine, Damien Rice, Prince of Assyria, The Lonely Island, Hurts, I blame Coco, Disco Ensemble, Feist. I really enjoy summer festivals, they have this special vibe and feeling that you can't find anywhere else.

We like to read but nowadays we usually read only books related to courses at the uni. When we want to read for fun, we read easy read books. The last good one was the Time traveler's wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
