About Me
CURRENT MISSION
exploring the world =)
ABOUT ME
We're a married couple of young restless explorers of life and cultures. We're always in search of something new and amazing: unforgettable experience, friends all over the world, extreme sports, delicious food, great music, movies of profundity. We're vegetarians, we don't smoke or drink alcohol as we find a lot more interesting things to do in life =) Not to mention, we're keen on travelling, intercultural communication and simply having fun. CS is truly in our hearts - it's a ravishing chance to meet and host foreigners and tell them about Russia (which is both huge and different) on the one hand and learn about other countries through the prism of communication with our hosts on the other hand.
PHILOSOPHY
Family is our most precious value. No matter what, we're always together. We want to make the world a little better, so we try to set an example of our own (with good habits, openness to others, positive attitute towards life and active life style). We're passionate learners, keen on opening new possibilities and broadening our horizons.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We've hosted great people from all over the world in St.Petersburg and we're looking forward to it in Novosibirsk as well. We try to offer not only a couch but also an interesting company, sharing cultural experience, showing the city or maybe even going to the country together. We like cooking, so we usually enjoy our guests' company for dinner (or cooking together) as well.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We've been a part of this great CS community since 2010, hosted as many visitors as we could, had awesome time together, made a lot of friends. We've also been hosted by several really nice people in Europe and Asia.
