Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This feeling when you can end up in any city in the world and there will be people who are waiting for you at their homes is truly magical! For me traveling equals exploring, and not only exploring places but people also! I enjoy spending time with people from all over the world, talk to them, find out what they think about issues important to me, what are their everyday life, their dreams, their problems.

Interests

Exploring new places and cultures (why else would I be here!). Apart from that, I’m a geek soul and love spending time watching great TV/Stand Up shows and movies. Grew up on Doctor Who and Sherlock. Music, obviously, this is something that can make such a huge difference. Researching different social and political phenomenons (thanks to my research uni). Ecological way of life is something that has recently captured my attention. Vegetarian/vegan places and products.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Planned the whole trip to see Arcade Fire live show in Antwerp. Drank vodka and danced on the same stage with Arcade Fire in Moscow. Rode a bike to the North Sea shore in Belgium. Hope this counts!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I can share a looot of stories about Russia (if you are interested), especially about some social issues, politics, human rights, etc. Deep conversations, in general, is my favorite thing. Of course, I can bring you something from Russia!
