ABOUT ME

Pavel: Type on a preferable (representative) way of perception of world around: Visual 64 %, Kinesthetic of 27%. Good mood is constant sign. Energetic, hyperactive. Superficial friendship, soul of the company. Forgiving. Conformist. Romantic. Gets up with people easily. Quite good organiser. Drinking. Not a homebody. Fast speech. Not religious.

Natalya: Optimistic. Romantic. Loves to think and philosophize about the essence of things, reads a lot and explores different objects of the world via books. Looks at the world through x-rose glasses, presented by Father Frost when she was a child. Likes to write poetry and novels. She is fond of words as the words are the best and the softest material for use in creation.

Both: We love travelling and want to see the whole world and meet a lot of interesting and nice people, their culture and traditions. We like to move, moving is life.

PHILOSOPHY

Pavel:Jedem das seine

Natalya: Omnia vincit amor; et nos cedamus amori (Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to love) (c) Virgil

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We will be happy to help with answering the questions about visas, certificates and other documentation corresponding all we had while making the difficult journey from bureaucracy hell and borders set by officials. Also we will be happy to offer a shelter for travellers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We travelled 11k kilometers by hitch-hiking not spending money on it, and paying only with the stories and smile. Although many people have passed like that more than 300,000 kilometers, and they guess it's normal, usual. Although this is probably normal for them because the distance is long. If it was shorter, they would not think this was usual =)
In general, if something is unusual for one, it's routine for another, and vice versa. We can only say that when you do something or see it in the first time, it's always strange =)

Teach, Learn, Share

Pavel: I learn to survive in the wild. Not in places where there is light, food, but where there is no life for around 300 miles, but I still do not know much about the berries and plants yet. And mushrooms, too. I learn to live in friendship with myself. I think about life, not just about why we live, but about how to live and not to disturb others to live. What can I teach? Maybe I can show mistakes of my life, so someone won't make them, too. But in general I love to cook and love to teach to cook =)
I want to learn how to fly a plane or a helicopter.

Natalya: I want to learn full bright endless unobstructed communication with people and ecumenical understanding between persons. And snowboarding =) If we talk about teaching I can teach Russian and very interesting game of the russian words in our language.
