ABOUT ME

I'm 26 years old. I love to travel; I like sports, especially outdoor sports (skiing/snowboarding, hiking, biking, etc...), but also volleyball and tennis. I like many forms of art and an amateur photographer myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have enjoyed quite a few couch surfing experiences, though not through this community hub. A particularly fun one was in St. Petersburg where I met a bunch of people on the train from Moscow. It was a night, 8 hour train ride; we had a few drinks, exchanged stories and experiences and generally enjoyed each other's company. They showed me around the city, some tourist attractions, some of their favorite spots. I ended up staying with them for a couple of days. We parted as friends and still keep in touch.
