Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Remained at remarkable hosts in many cities of Russia and Ukraine. I try to invite people to visit whenever possible. I help organize the project of Russian travelers - "House for All". We rent a house in a certain place on the globe where a person of any nationality, if he is interested in the world, leads a healthy lifestyle and does not use drugs, can stop at us free of charge to explore the region. He helped organize such houses in Nizhny Novgorod, Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek), rented a house for travelers friends in Tajikistan (Murgab).
