CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the USA. Also helping to cure hiccups.

ABOUT ME

One would hope they would only say wonderful things, but I'm sure they'd find one or two embarrassing anecdotes. I'll pretend they'd only talk about my great sense of humour, my love for humanity, love for culture, sense of adventure and ability to befriend even Lord Voldemort.

PHILOSOPHY

Generosity, respect and lots of laughing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Totally new to couch surfing and humbled by everyone's hospitality! Doing a month long trip through the States and trying to meet as many new people as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. Will keep you posted.

Interests

I cannot bear to think of a world without art in any and all forms. From paintings to opera and ballet to Snoop-lion, it brings me endless joy. I travel as often as possible and try to pick places that is off the beaten path, even if the destination is well-known. I read a lot, from the great Russian authors like Bulgakov and Nabakov to Vanity Fair. This is probably where I should mention how I love hanging out with my friends, some old some new, and how I love discovering new ones and adding them to my very excellent collection. I love good food and wine, being outside, changing seasons and hand written letters.
