Citizen of the World. Born in Moscow, Russia, left everything to begin a new life in Poland. Next time will probably move somewhere else, further to the west :)
I'm also thinking about quitting my job and becoming a full-time technical diving instructor. Living on an island with stingrays for pets (swimming freely in the sea)!

Open-minded and curious. Started speaking a new language (Polish) just after one month without any prior knowledge of it and without any formal courses. Just plunged into the culture headlong!

Travelling with my beatiful Małgorzata from Warsaw.

I'm new to the CS community but have been using AirBnB for some time and loved staying with the locals. You can see my profile there: airbnb.pl/users/show/7866066

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all over the world and soak in the local culture and colour!
I'm definitely not interested in "just a free place to sleep". Being a manager in the largest financial corporation in the world entitles me to any hotel anywhere, but I'd rather stay with someone to chat and have fun together!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving 2800 miles in two weeks across the American Southwest on my own. Sleeping on the rim of the Grand Canyon. Dining with the cowboys. Waking up in the middle of the night to the howl of coyotes. Gambling and winning in Las Vegas. Looking down from the 1500 feet above the ground at the Angel's Landing in Zion.
